Let’s try this again.
Having a blog always bother me as it always seemed to be extra work and not really for me.
A blog seems always for others but for me. Sounds egoistical. And you are right by assuming that.
As it is with my thoughts, when I’m thinking of such opinions there is almost immediately a counter thought: “are you sure that’s the case?”.
So am I sure about that blogs are only for others but for me?
No.
At first maybe. But as soon as I reach out by creating a blog post, I am carrying myself out there in the hope to reach someone. Someone that somehow gets involved in my thought process but not included yet. Just on their own, thinking about what they have seen.
And maybe the seen makes its rounds in their head.
And maybe they come back with something like an idea or a comment in the line of “shut it, you wanker.”
Welcome to the internet.
