Late Post: Indonesian National Bloggers Day How important is blogging to you? How do you decide what to publish? Comemmorating Indonesian National Blogger's Day, @aulia had tweeted these questions. To be honest, I'm not a professional blogger, nor an active one. To me blogging has always been more like a catharsis, and my blog has always seem more like a personal journal to me. I started blogging back when I was still in High School. And as a normal high school-er my entry was mainly consisting of teenage high school angst, sappy lyrics/poems or pictures of me and my friends. Never occured to me to make something out of my condition. I mean I was living in Kuwait, I could've blogged about the tears and joy of living abroad, etc. But since I was a self-conscious, hormone-raging, time-waster teenage high school-er, the thought never crossed my mind at all. To me blogging isn't a routine thing. I don't feel that I should blog everything that I think or feel or heard. I used to, I don't anymore. The routine and hype stopped when I got to college. I didn't have steady internet connection and was busy being in a relationship. Back then, there wasn't (or maybe I just didn't know) a thing that we call microblogging nowadays. Plus, because of blogging, it almost ruined my romantic relationship, so I decided to take a break at all from it. These days, I tried to steadily update my blog. My posts consists of, still, some young-adults angsts, absurd psycho-analysis, addictions and rants about my so-called hopeless love life. It's boring, uneducational, unmotivating and, above all, absurd. But hey, it's a personal journal to begin with. I don't blog for others. It never meant as a public consumption. But if people want to read it and comment on it then be my guest. But the way I see it, blogging is a replacement of writing a diary. Whenever I have something disturbing on my mind, something that bugs me day and night, I blog about it. And it helped release the pain, soothed my mind, and sometimes even helped me find the answer to my problem. I'm not a very communicative person. I don't do well talking about my feelings, and blogging is a way of sharing that feeling. So yeah, blogging = catharsis. But even if I don't blog, I'd still write somehow to express my feelings, I just don't publish it. So, it's more about writing and expressing than really publishing it for the world to see. That's why I don't care if people don't read my blog to begin with. |
