Why Do You Blog?

Permanent Linkby CrackedGirl on Fri Sep 23, 2011 6:24 am

I was thinking about why I blog and what I am doing it for.

I think it is self centredly mainly for me. Since I was little I have kept a diary and I view blogging in a similar way. I write what is going on in my life and when I read it back later it reminds me of where i was at a certain point in my life.

I think that is why I am maybe more open than i should be - because I look on it like a diary. I know here is anonymous but I do sometimes wonder if I have said too much, but I also know I do have boundaries and there are somethings I would not say.

I also make myself do it even if I am feeling crap because I think it is important to capture how I was feeling at that time as well as when things are better.

Do I do it because ppl read it? To some extent yes and I am so grateful to anyone who reads the mundane drivel that comes out of my head. But I think I would still do it anyhow. But there must be something wonderful about the support i get from ppl here as it encourages me to keep going - so thank you.

So I am curious about you all. Why do you blog and why do you read ppls' blogs?

I suppose I write blogs to organise my own thoughts and feelings. I've never done diaries for long, I always forget them in the end. I also feel that some of my deep-thinking ideas and thoughts need an outlet. Family and friends are out for now so I turn to blogs.
I'm amazed that anyone read most of the stuff I post on here.As for reading others, I'm interested in how others think and view life.

If you say so, Cracked. I personally find it slightly difficult to believe, but I'll take your word for it.
That's also the reason why ppl read yours ;)

I think other people's insights about their lives encourage me to think differently about my life... People's insights into their own lives are so interesting...
In a way, I am not defined by my dissociation. In a way, I am.

I'm always writing things here and there: diary entries, poems, prose, lyrics I have no idea how to write music to, starts of stories I'll never finish. Why I blog? For some reason, I feel like I ought to post some item here. I read other blogs here when something about the title or the teaser lures me in. I sometimes hope to read about an experience I can relate to. Sometimes I just want to know what's on that person's mind or know more about that person.
