Why Blog?

First blog, first entry: what is this about? I want to express myself, write down thoughts, ideas, observations, musings, and whatever pops into my head at the moment. Tried the Facebook route, but it was like yelling in a crowded room of relative strangers. Sometimes, you would get an acknowledgement, sometimes not.
When I got responses, they were always fleeting. On Facebook, I couldn't be totally honest lest I offend someone. I thought it would be a way for me to share part of myself without necessarily caring about what others thought. I was hoping it would be desensitizing. I figured, the more I post, the easier it would get and the freer I would be. I was wrong. The more I post, the more I would care about what my "friend" thought. How many "likes", "comments"? Too stressful. Well, it was a good try.

I will try blogging. I would hope someone will find my prose interesting. Deep down, I do want to share parts of myself via this media, otherwise I would just keep a journal. If Facebook is like yelling in a crowded room, blogging is like shouting into a deep canyon and wondering if you could create an echo.
