Why do I blog?
Today's entry is kind of inspired by Mr.Kiasu's blog entry on Why are you blogging?
Why am I blogging? So many reasons, so so many reasons. At first I started off as a 'wannabe' blogger. I only cared for hits. I only cared for increased traffic. I tried to put as much "cool" contents into my entries for that. I was such 'lala blogger' in the past... and maybe even now.
When I read up my archives now... I realised I have changed my blogging style. I put more of me in my blog. I put more what I thought, I put more of my feelings, and I realised that I cherish strangers who was reading my blog, especially once that understand me, and feel me thru my words.
Now back to the question, why am I blogging? Well one thing is for sure... something that did not change, I want feedback. I enjoy comments; I like it when people share their stories and their mind with me. I just like the communication. Or maybe I just like the attention, I was a self centred blogger, and still is.
But then blogging is not just only that to me. My blog knows me. I laugh to my blog, I cry to my blog. My blog is the only place I can be in peace, the only place where I can say my thing. I'm a little like Alice also I think. I seldom share my problems with friends because I'm afraid I'll bog them down. But my blog can't be bog down, so I think I depend on my blog a lot. Again... too many reasons. These days my blog is just like a buffer, storing all my excess thoughts. But this buffer ....well... I can't express a lot of myself in here anymore.
Too many people I know read my blog. It's over exposed. But I am to be blamed for that. When I was a 'lala blogger' I promoted my blog, too many people I know reads this... yes, including you. I can't freely express myself here anymore. Sometimes I just want to bla everything out but when I think of the consequences.... I have to hold back.
I have been wanting to abandon Big Head Big Hat many times before. But I couldn't bring myself to do it because I have developed a love for Big Head Big Hat. I have been thru so much here. My life, my family and friends.
If one day I should abandon this blog……

I think the only thing that attracts people is sincerity, and you have suscessfully did it.
Some ppl see blogging as trend, others create stories for the fame. When i first started blogging, i got excited and announce it to everyone. At last it was a total failure. I think ppl that read blogs are those that care, though some ppl are just a piece of rubbish. And those that didn't even pop up once, and say that "that's great, i will check it out". They are just those jellyfish that care only of themselves.
I agree with what u said bout holding back..its difficult to want to epress exactly what you feel but feel pressured by those who read ur blog and their reactions.
Wat you can try is making ur entry private. Accessible to only those you allow/invite to read or maybe just private to urself. Maybe that would give u back a sense of freedon in expression?
mrKiasu: hehehe jellyfish... weird metaphor
phixsius: yeah... thought of having a private blog before... will see how it goes
bc here,wat i really think is...
u share your feelings with your blog more,rather than your boyfriend.how i wish i could be your "blog" ='(
but anyway there's a reason y u choose to blog.it makes u feel wanted,stronger perhaps...i dono and i will never 'un'
---: maybe i have one already... you'll never know... i'll never know .... *wonders*
bc: you wont want to be my blog, because i dont think you would ever understand me right now...plus i think it would be a disaster for both of us if u were my blog :P
carol: I'm glad there are still bloggers like you who can still feel free while blogging. Keep this in you, you wont want to end up like me =)
bc... 2 different perspectives
*BLOG point-a-view*
i would share your feelings,like happiness,sadness,lonelyness ..etc
Atleast u layan me everyday n i don make u angry or sad.too bad i cant give hugs n muaks
*REAL LIFE*
