I've been meaning to post for a while. I actually have half a dozen started posts, but never got them finished. Despite never having posted them, the saved posts did serve a purpose: I did get to write down some things I was experiencing and feeling, and that outlet was good.
Maybe I should write a journal instead of a blog? But that seems too selfish. I know some may argue that posting publicly is more selfish than private writing, because of the need for feedback. I tend to disagree. Private writing seems so self-centered: you're writing purely for yourself, whereas writing for a public forum is for an audience (even if it's only a few unknown people lol). As stated earlier, I tend to not do too much for myself, so of course I wouldn't be a selfish kind if writer. Journals also seem so secretive, like I have things to hide, and really I don't.
So my new years goal is to finish my posts. I may even finish some that I started, although taking into account the hindsight they may not be as interesting. Maybe I should not worry about being interesting in the moment, but find a way to be interesting with my life lessons, after the fact. I've never thought about that before. I tend to want to share my dramatic or insightful moments as thy happen, but don't really follow up with the aftermath. Maybe accountability for my thoughts is something I should focus on?
