Little Perks of Blogging

Last night, I was reading a featured article in an outdated newspaper and I couldn’t help but feel uneasy. The Queen of England was quoted saying “the washing of dirty linen in public is totally abhorrent.” Honestly, I felt inexplicable guilt after reading that article. Is it bad to write about the ugly things that are happening in my life? In my other blogs, I wrote things about being tardy, being broke, and being a totally nonsense person. Of course, I don’t want to parade too personal details about myself. Not only because I’m scared of the repercussion but simply because it’s not me. I guess, I was only looking for an outlet. So anyway, I am sometimes tempted to delete those posts because they make feel exposed and embarrassed but each and every time I was about to hit “delete,” I am also reminded of how much effort I’ve exerted in writing them. So instead of dwelling on the negative side, I made up my mind to focus on the nice and wonderful things about blogging. These are some of the many reasons why I simply can’t stop blogging:

  • I get to meet a lot of people and a few nice friends
  • I get opportunities to earn money
  • It helps me forget about my stressful job
  • My posts make me happy! Or my typo and grammatical errors make me laugh hihi :)
  • It gives me something to do when I don’t want to do anything
  • It’s a good reason to use my service incentive leaves (of course I wouldn’t tell my boss that I won’t be reporting for work because I need to update my blog, silly)
  • It made me realize that my English is not hopeless, just a little erroneous, but not hopeless :)
  • Writing keeps my sanity

And wait, did I say underdog? Well, not exactly. I just couldn’t find the right word as of this minute …

I agree… blogging helped me keep my sanity intact. During those times that I was not working and was new here in the US… it was the only thing that kept me from talking to the wall and hoping that it would talk back. Being honest gives you the freedom that will liberate you from self-bondage. Telling the whole world of your weaknesses gives you the strength to live without guilt. So keep it up. You are doing fine.

wow! amen to ruthi. and yeah, i like your reasons too. it’s really funny to look back and reread previous posts that you didn’t think you have written that or you were thinking about that during those times.

my blog is my reflection. and if people have a problem with what i have to say, i don’t really care. cuz that’s what i think and people are entitled to have their opinions too. ^^

if they don’t like what you have to say, they can just block you or not visit your blog at all. that simple. hihi!

True, blogging has a lot of benefits. And it’s a nice outlet where we can air out our sentiments once in a while. It’s also a great venue where we can share our joys too :)
