Brainstorming ideas for new blog

I just recently looked into the idea of starting my own blog. I have always been told I am a strong writer, and I genuinely do try to believe in myself. However, I'm not certain if I'm good enough to be successful at something like that. I have searched for niche topics online to see what people started writing their blogs about, they seem to write about their field of expertise. I did not go to college, and am not certified in anything. Most of my work experience is in customer service. I thought to write about that, but thought that just seemed like to vague of a topic that I'll eventually run out of ideas to talk about. Although I dont have much knowledge to offer, I do have a lot of experience with life. Definitely not the most, as I am only 26 and still have much of life left to live. But I have experienced a lot of crazy moments, been brought through and can talk about life experiences for days and days - which can branch out into so many other topics. Does anyone think this is a good idea? Please let me know your suggestions, thank you :)

Don't look for a specific topic or angle, just write about your life and how you see things, what you think about them. Write about what you know. It might be something you noticed in the store, something someone said that interested you, something you've seen on the news. But write from your own perspective. If you blogged once a week or every three days, it would remain fresh. It's not a diary, so you wouldn't have to write it every day.

I'd advise you to read as much as you can, novels, short stories, poems. Reading a lot will help you to understand how to write and express your thoughts clearly. Think of a snappy name for your blog, something witty and memorable. Remember: write what you know, which is you, your life, how you see things.
