Why I Blog is like asking Why I breathe. To blog was not a choice when I became aware of the blogging platforms. It was an escape I always wanted as a writer. Before blogging happened it was maintaining a diary. But as it happens, I stopped writing for various reasons, primarily being I did not want to share my thoughts to self.
Writing for someone always has its own trappings and while the writer in you would be happy to be part of the creative process, writing for your self is far more liberating.
First there are no set things to keep in mind so you can pretty much write the stuff that you want to send out. Second and very important is this is real you. You are not taking your riders on a ride and nor are you creating any false notions about yourself. You are exposing yourself to the world and that take whole lot of courage.
Different people have different ways to get things out of their system. Some paint, others sing, some dance, others think. I write.
Whoever said writing is therapeutic wasn\’t wrong. It sure is and something more.
Expressing yourself to others is a big challenge because you have to speak in language they understand. Its like a movie which we like or a song we fall in love because it captures your mood in a manner no other song managed to do.
Writing to me is something very personal since I do not comment on what is happening around me, nor am I writing about any particular genre but rather what is inside me.
