III-WRITING

Greetings!

I enjoyed reading your post about your blog and how it has become a safe space for
you. I can definitely relate to that feeling of having a platform to express
oneself and connect with others who share similar interests.

As for me, I am more of a social networking user than a blogger. I do have a

personal blog that I update from time to time. However, I do find social networks
to be a great way to stay connected with friends and family, especially those who
live far away. It also allows me to discover and follow the work of creatives and
influencers who inspire me.

I think blogging and social networking can definitely bring a lot of happiness, but
it's important to use them in moderation and not let them consume too much of our
time and energy.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, and keep up the great work with your blog!

Best regards, Duarte.
