Second Chances

I don't blog. I hate the idea of writing something on the internet that everyone else can see. If I choose to write something it will be in a journal, hidden neatly in my room for no one else to see. I have never understood blogging. Often a blog is used as a way to express emotions that if expressed differently, or to the correct people, could be much more productive. A blog simply tells the world how you are feeling and this provides nothing in return. You are unnecessarily putting your life on display. To those who do write blogs I am truly sorry I don't understand the way you do things. And I don't mean to bash blogging I simply do not understand the need for it. I am hoping that as the semester goes on this will get easier, but we will see how that turns out. I'm not so optimistic.
The summer before my senior year of high school my dad tried to convince me to start a blog. He wanted me to interview friends and neighbors about their jobs in order to try and figure out a job I might want to pursue. He thought it would be good to share my experiences with others, but who was going to read that? No one and to be honest I didn't want them to. That experience did not go very well. Second time's a charm?

  1. I'm holding onto hope for you, Amanda! Also, there are good bloggers and then mediocre bloggers and not so great bloggers and really heinously bad bloggers. And people blog for so many different reasons. It has changed my life! I hope we can help you to love it, too ;)
