Why do people blog?

Obvious question, but for me, very interesting. Some people like expressing their opinions on their life, some people like following others ("Member aku ada, so aku pun ikut je la"), those are the main reasons.

Me? After so long! I mean it's been 5+ years blogs exist and only now am I embracing the technology? Wonder what made me change my mind?

I guess I was initially intimated about the prospect of sharing my life with the world. Self-defeating thoughts such as "Buat apa blog2? Bukannya aku happening gila pun nak cita kat the whole world?" OR "Isy, blog si anu tu ada je funny stories that never seem to happen to me, I can never conjure up stuff like that!"

I had this expectation that only the perfect stuff to be written on blogs. That really became a big turnoff for me since I am always unable to conjure up stuff that naturally entertains other people. Even thinking of a good sentence is enough effort, what more a paragraph?

That was then.

Now, views change as we get more knowledgable and matured. Seems to me that I'm not alone. Many other people seem to have the same normal life as me, but just being able to put it down on a piece of paper makes them really..... satisfied would be the word. A view that somehow streamed into my heart.

Doesn't matter whether I'm super happening or super boring, blogs are awesome for me to let stuff go off my chest. You write, you read, you feel better. Awesome stuff.

Finding the perfect stuff? Don't worry, I'm sure as I write more, I'd be more skilful in finding them. All that takes is perseverance.

Magnificient!
