For Me, Shared With You

Today, I was interviewed for the school newspaper about blogs. Some of the questions were why I blogged, what I blogged about, what I got out of blogging. Basic questions. Simple questions. But for some reason, I had a hard time explaining it. To be quite honest, I don't really know why I blog. But here is an entire post, just for the sake of it, to help me think through it. Which I guess is sort of why I do it...

I blog about experiences in my life, things that have happened to me, things that have made an impact. Whether the impact be minor or major, positive or negative, I blog about it. I suppose it's a way of me letting my feelings out, but in a way that is helpful to others who read it. It's like a diary, but public. The things I say here are mainly for me, but I'm giving others the privilege to read them. I find that I always come to some sort of moral at the end, which some could argue is for the reader. I like to think that the entire post is directed for me, the writer, rather than you, the reader.
I come to these morals and conclusions through writing about it. It helps me find the message within the experience, helps me to understand why exactly it happened to me. Some would call it fate, and just leave it at that, but I'm not one to put all my eggs in one basket. I'm not saying I don't believe in fate, I'm just saying that I think there is a reason for everything, and I would like to come to my own conclusions as to why it happened, rather than just letting it be.
Another question I was asked was if I gave out personal information on here. Of course not, that would be plain silly. I know not to do that, I know that what is put on the internet is public, and there forever.
For those of you who saw the first edition of my blog, you know that I am a very brutally honest person. For those of you who don't know the story, it's just as well.
Within my blog, I never mention any names or hint at specific people. I never aim to hurt anyone's feelings or create something that seems like a "burn book" of sorts. It is for me, and a way to let me feelings out. I state the facts and my opinions on them. I may come of harsh at times, but I like to keep it honest.

I suppose my honesty is coming back around because frankly, I don't care if you read this or not. I don't care if you take offense to it or not. If you don't like what you read, don't keep reading. I'm not forcing anyone to do anything they don't want to do. Everything is a choice. I choose to blog, though I'm not entirely sure why. You choose to read it, though, once again, I'm not entirely sure why, nor do I really care.

Point is, I blog for me, and share it with you, so hopefully, you can learn the wonderful lessons life has given me up to this point.
