Another shot
One sure sign that made me rethink blogging was when I found myself writing multiple emails through cut and paste. Yes, I do mean Ctrl + x and Ctrl + y!
I’ve never been able to maintain a blog. This is already my fourth attempt and hopefully, this one has a longer lifespan. It’s certainly not for lack of something to write that hinders me from blogging consistently. There’s always a restaurant or a book review that I want to write, an experience that I want to share and thoughts that I want to put into writing just for the sake of organizing them… Admittedly, one stumbling block is the unfamiliarity with the technology of blogging and like any normal human being, I treaded within my internet comfort zones. This zones is a shortlist of probably 12 websites. You see, I’ve been bitten before. One wrong website and a wrong click has flooded our computer with pop-ups. It tormented me for months that I started dreading even turning on the computer. None of the free pop-up-blockers really helped. But that’s behind me, thankfully. Or more correctly, right in front of me but permanently off. I resigned myself into using my husband’s laptop which wasn’t my comfort zone either. I had to carefully make sure that I don’t come across photos or files that I would rather not see or read. I wasn’t always successful but I’ve come to manage my way around it. How is another blog entry.
So here am I again, in another attempt in making my life and thoughts more accessible to my friends and family. Which brings about yet another stumbling block– just how much of my thoughts and opinions can I write and publish online? To those who are blogging — don’t you feel exposed and naked when you write down all your thoughts? I just do and I guess, since I’ve only recently overcame my inhibitions about walking around the house naked, it’s time to bring that in the www level. Besides, I need it too. By that, I meant writing, not walking around the house naked. I enjoy writing and since my husband and I closed the gap in our long distance relationship, nothing really compensated to the daily emails. I’m ofcourse relieved that we’re finally together and not still writing emails but on the otherhand, the habit of writing down my thoughts and feelings on a daily basis was good for me. I hope this one is too.
