Holding Back

When I first started this blog, I thought that I would have so much to write, that I won't have time to do anything else. But I've found that I am still holding back....don't know why. Maybe because after reading several blogs avidly for the past month, I have found that I have come to know the people who write in them so well......maybe more than if I knew them in person. I feel that writing your thoughts, your beliefs, excerpts from your daily life for people to read may paint a clearer picture of who you really are, than interacting with co-workers, or with family members you have hardly anything in common with. It's strange, but writing actually does that. Maybe we're more open when we write, or maybe we can express ourselves more through written words than spoken ones. Or maybe we're just braver when we're hiding in cyberspace. Or maybe it's just me........
Or maybe it's because I haven't really determined the identity of my blog. I mean, will I write anything that comes to mind?? Will I talk about my life?? Will I express my political and cultural views....or will it be a combination of all....I guess so far it's a combination.......I guess I'll stick with combination......anyway, we'll see.
I'm actually feeling better now ........I think I like blogging ;)

good luck with your blog, that last post u wrote will always be on your head no matter how old your blog gets, i blog for over a year, and i still dunno what i'm talking about. and i dont think i ever will even if i blogged for another million. but i figured out the best thing to do is be yourself and never mind to write about things that will attract readers, maybe u can do so sometimes, but that shouldnt be the attitude. blogs which really intend to attract readers all almost always as boring as hell, and all the people attracted to it are even more bored that they comment saying nonsense over in big words. so the i guess the best thing to do is be yourself, exactly like u r in a bathroom. ;)
