Blogging.
What a popular word these days, huh? Sort of. When we say blogging, I at least think of Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, etc. In the past five to ten years, we have been given so many different avenues to connect with friends and others; each has was of allowing us to share thoughts, pictures, events, and to plug in deeper with various networks. It's both a blessing and a curse I think.
But, I do think I am going to look at it mostly in the first light: it's a blessing. Facebook and Myspace are how I keep in touch with people. Since going off to college, some of my closest friends and I have parted our separate ways, but a small chat window gives me easy access into their lives. Even before graduation, simply changing schools has disconnected me from people I held close, but pages and profiles and the like have kept me intune with them.
As for Blogger, I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. It reminds me of Xanga, where we could make full posts about whatever we wanted. I found my first Xanga and absolutely cringed when I saw what I had written and the horrible grammar and spelling and iRRiTATiNG uSee OF CAPiTALS and the like. Thankfully, I've grown up since then. And I suppose that is why I'm here.
Some of my friends have told me that I need to write again, like the blogs I used to post on Myspace from time to time. To be honest, I miss writing. It was definitely a release and a way for me to put my thoughts into words that helped me better understand what I was dealing with and how I was dealing with it. And so, I write again.
I'll write of random things and of important things, but mostly whatever I'm in the mood for. I can't wait to begin.
However, this is the beginning. Here is where I say "Hello!" and "Welcome!". Here is where I make my mark and take a step forward. Here we are.
Enjoy :]
