Why Blogging?

Back to the days when the internet wasn't around, the diary was our friend.
Now thanks to our advanced technology, we can now write anything, anywhere, anytime we want.
And the best part? We can share our diary entries with others too.

I wasn't a big fan of writing out my feelings and thoughts. In fact, I've never had a diary before.
Partly because I feel insecure if I express my inner most thoughts. What if someone reads it by accident? Then
I would feel completely transparent as though standing naked in front of a crowd...

...waiting for judgment...

Thus, I've always kept everything inside...
Now Freud may say that isn't the best way to do. Since whatever I've suppressed deep in my unconsciousness may come
back and haunt me every now and then (Perhaps it did)
Yet I still chose it.

My sister was the one introduced me to blogging a few years ago.
I remembered asking her---Why blogging? Why you want other people to know what you're thinking?
Her answer was--So that years later, when I read these things I've written I can feel what I felt at that moment...

Once I entered the blogging world, I noticed different kind of blogs: Some record what they did that day, some put pictures, some put news and stories they like, while others write reviews about certain products and items, some other write what's in their minds...

After a while, I got used to blogging. It feels good--being able to express my thoughts. It's like talking about yourself to another person without restriction, without the fear that you may be judged or misunderstood.
And the 'other person' only listens =).

Of course, I will still keep certain feelings to myself.

But the rest? I'm willing to share with you
