On this Tuesday morning I can't help but wonder...why does blogging feel so great? I feel such a release and sense of accomplishment when I hit the publish button..but why, I wonder?
I wonder what it would feel like if I kept a journal, would I feel even better because I could disclose my feelings on a much deeper level knowing that no one would read them? Over my lifetime, I have about 5 journals... each with about 5 to 10 entries..and then several years go by until I start another one... with a more mature cover and design look to it. I've never been good at really keeping one, but I wish I did.
It would really be interesting to see a study of some kind done on the effects of blogging vs journaling.
Hmmm... you see, for me and my blog, I treat it more like an online photo album for everyone to see and to better keep in touch with family and friends on a day to day basis. And the best part is people can view it as often as the like or never even look at it~I like that about it... and I never know who's following it. Rarely I hop on and post something that's effecting me that day/or on my mind in the present time. I'm thinking I want to get my blog caught up enough, so that I can start using it more to share my daily thoughts??
Perhaps I make this too complicated? Some times I think my brain only works in chronological order.
It's weird, sometimes I hear people make comments in random conversations relating to a blog post from a month ago and I think...
oh wow, you read my blog? and other situations where people who I think would read my blog (aka one of my best friends, let's not mention names...although her last name is a famous toilet brand) will say something like "
Oh, I didn't know you went on a cruise, where did you go". Seriously???
So to my readers...
I'm asking you all a couple questions... please post your answers as comments...if you don't have a google account or blog.. just simply check the anonymous option and write your name in the text box.
1.) Do you journal? Do you blog? Do you do both? What do you prefer?
2.) What type of blogs do you enjoy following? Ones where people post several photos and up to date info on what's going on in their lives? Or ones where they write funny daily comments, thoughts, and stories, or both?
