Vlogging. Vlogs. Vlogger.

When I tell people I have/want to start vlogging, I usually get asked: What exactly is a vlog/vlogger?

Well, let's talk about the easiest comparison, bloggers.

When you think of a blogger, the stereotype is a woman, usually young and sometimes a mom, who talks at length about a specific topic, or genre. For example, there are mommy bloggers, food blogs, sorority blogs, fitness blogs, etc. They may have recipes, craft ideas, life stories...anything and everything.

At the core, vloggers do the same thing. But video is a different medium than simple words on a page. You visually see the emotion when someone tells a story, or has an experience, or is cooking, or is interacting with an object. You can't imagine their tone, their thoughts at the time, their expressions, because everything is right there. All of that person is right there.

The most appealing thing about vloggers is that you get to watch someone else's life, front row, first seat. You get to see the mundane things in their days, their emotional breakdowns, their happiest moments, what they ate that day...you get it.

But the other super cool thing about vloggers is that they become storytellers. They present you their life they way they view it. What other mediums can you say that you can experience someone else's life the way they see it?

So, what is a vlogger? Check out some of these incredible story tellers, and their crazy lives.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
