today's topic: why do i keep a blog.
this blog was started in 2005, 6 years ago.
initially i started out blogging because writing a blog is the 'in' thing.
many people kept a blog.
so i thought i should follow the trend too.
then soon after, i realised blogging kind of helped me in relieving my emotions.
so one of my purposes of blogging became a way to de-stress myself.
another purpose was to inform of others who followed and read my blog.
in a way, it was attention seeking actually.
every post every entry was trying to find some consensus among people who read them.
"i agree with u", "u are right" and other similar comments were what im looking for after posting an entry.
i just hope someone who read my blog was able to sympathise my plight and such.
attention seeking.
but that didnt last long.
i lost my momentum for blogging after that.
i blogged for the sake of blogging.
what i blogged was rubbish.
i treated blogging like twitter.
short entry.
very infrequent.
all these while, blogging has still remained as one of my favourite channels to get rid of my emotions and thoughts in my mind though.
some time later, i had a new idea for blogging.
i no longer blog because im seeking attention from others.
i no longer blog just for the sake of blogging.
i do blogging because blog is able to capture my mind and thoughts at that particular moment.
just like photos, they show what happened at the very moment in graphic.
blog, shows what happened at the very moment in words.
so currently, my purpose of blogging is i want to record down my thoughts, emotions and whatever that has happened to me.
im scared someday i would suddenly lost all my memories.
i couldnt remember my family, my friends and my past.
im scared when im old, my memory would fail.
so by then i can refer to my blog, read my past entries, get to know myself again.
so this blog, is my memory archive.
