Some days, I ask myself, 'What exactly is a blog? And what on earth should I write on it?'
Sometimes, I answer that a blog - this blog, at least - is my forum for using big words.
I've heard a lot of people mention, lately, how blogs and social media are often used to post our best selves online, and I think, 'Oh, is that what I was supposed to be doing?' Because it seems like most my posts go something like this: 'wow, today was crazy/hard/non-productive...but that's OK. I'm happy anyway.'
Other times, I'm convinced that a blog is really just a public, online scrapbook, so that I can post pictures for my friends and family to see how cute my baby is. But as far as that goes, I've discovered that I am definitely not a photographer. Maybe someday, but not today.
If lots of people read my blog consistently and I were a really, really, really good cook, I could post a new, fantastic recipe every day. For awhile, cooking blogs composed the majority of my recreational reading. Nevertheless, I'm not cut out for that either.
I could post about my opinions, because I'm very opinionated, but I'm not always up for the incendiary comments that follow those types of posts. I could post about the books I read, but I am a notoriously slow reader.
Sometimes, my head is full to bursting with things that I want to write and post...but sometimes, it just comes out like this. None of the above. :)
Ha - I am pretty sure I've had every single one of these thoughts. ;) But I still treasure my blog so much, especially when I go back and read old posts. It's like a fantastic snapshot of my life - both what I was doing and what I was thinking.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I mostly find that it's a Monday thing. Once I get going during the week, the writing perpetuates itself. I'm so impressed with just how far back your blog goes. I took a few minutes to take a glance at your earlier posts and wow! What a treasure!
