to write (and do) for oneself

someone recently asked me whether or not they should start a blog, citing fear that no one would read it as a main hesitation.

but when we blog, how much of it do we really blog for others versus for ourselves? sure, we (i) blog sometimes because we think there is something worth sharing. a lot of times, it may also be something that we want to remember.

whatever your intention was, something caused you to take the time to think about it, and to think about it enough to write it down.

at the end of the day, at least we ourselves can look at past entries and chronicle events, thoughts, and progression.

i guess that’s something we should carry with us throughout our daily lives as well; we write to share our thoughts, we write to improve our writing, and we do to improve ourselves.

rather than wondering what everyone else would think, and fearing rejection, there is something to be said about writing (and doing) for oneself.
