Why Blog?

Today, out of nowhere, I decided to create a blog. I had thought about this once before and wondered, "Why would some1 blog?". Why would you want to make your life available to the public. I decided to Google it and find out. I liked what i read.

One answer was "To be heard". Assuming "to be heard" means thats the reason you blog is for attention, then i dont agree. Another point of view could mean that blogging "to be heard" makes blogging sound as if it [the internet] replaced human interaction and friends. If one was just blogging to be heard than maybe they need to go out and meet some people. I have friends that I could have "hear me".

Ive started this blog mainly to comment on the world in which we all live in and to comment on events that happen everyday. Ive decided to share this with the world because lets say i wrote a private diary, i feel that my feelings and experiences arent shared with everyone. This blog will allow my opinions to reach more people and posting some of my experiences will allow people to learn from my mistakes and success stories; let alone i will learn myself. In a sense one could say im blogging "to be heard" and that ive contradicted myself. In a sense, I am blogging "to be heard". Im blogging to allow my ideas and thoughts to reach more people than possible if I was just talking amongst my friends. Hopefully, the ideas I mention will give the average person, like you and me, another point of view in life. Just knowing that I have encouraged others to think again about the life we live in is something that make me believe my blogging has not gone to waste. Blogging will allow me to pass time and share my experiences with many others.

As the days pass by and i post my opinions and experiences, some people wont agree with what I say, but if i was concerned about that then i wouldnt have started this.
