Blogs

Why do people have them?

Over the past years, each of us have had numerous blogs. So why do we create new blogs or delete old blogs or just create new blogs and not use the old ones?

Why do people have blogs in the first place?

Most of the people within our age group use blogs in the form of a public diary where we vent, rant, write about our lives, personal views, etc.

Over the years, I think I've had/shared 4-6 blogs. The very first being a joint blog between 3 people, who were pretty close to me back then. We just posted anything I think, nice pictures, rants, indirect/ambiguous messages for each other and so on. Eventually that blog died down when one of the friends pretty much drifted away.

The next blog I think, was my own personal blog. Where I wrote about more personal things, how I feel, my emotions, my thoughts and all. I stopped posting there once I shared another joint blog with a friend, it was as much hers as it was mine, there we too blogged nice pictures, little things about ourselves, with mixtures of rants and stuff. It was a really pretty blog to be honest, we paid attention to little details as to how presentable each post had to be.

After that, I believe another blog was created which was specifically for only my friend and I. There we posted about ourselves, how we felt, our thoughts and all that deeper stuff. These kind of blogs made me realized how great it is to type out your feelings. Sometimes keeping it in is just too difficult and if you're fighting with someone, at least you pretty much know where to find each other's thoughts when things are pretty heated.

I think it was a few months after that, I created this blog. I gave up on blogging for a while and only stuck to the shared personal blog but high school was getting harder to deal with in 2012 so I decided to create a new blog, this blog.

As you'd all know, there's a bit of everything, my interests, some rants, some things about my life, how I feel to a certain extent, my opinions.

Now you see, the issue with public and private blogs is that I feel the need to vent and rant but my blog is public. Most of the things I feel I need to get off my chest is personal so what do I do?

That's where I remembered that I had a personal private blog, it was pretty weird, looking at a blog which you last used 2 years ago.

It is there, where I pour my feelings out onto the screen via keyboard, I feel that if blogs were never invented, I wouldn't have been able to deal with what life has thrown at me.

That brings me to another topic, blog titles. I cringe whenever I see my blog url or title like say from 3 years ago; strollingdownthelonelyroad.bspot like what? .__.
