Another way to be an exhibitionist
I read Mb Didin’s blog. She wrote that blogging is another way to be an exhibitionist. Maybe. I created my blog when I was bored with my thesis. I had many things on my mind, which absolutely not related to my thesis. Then I just created a blog and wrote some articles.
I express my nasty ideas on my blog. Blog for me is a personal space that I can share with they who want to read. I don’t have to negotiate with editors, proofreaders, customs, regulations, and so on. I simply write what I want to write, and I am sure I know the limit. I cannot offend others based on their background. Like Voltaire said that even though I don't agree with someone, doesn't mean I am allowed to offend. Just because I have different ideas, doesn't mean others cannot speak our their ideas. It is about my own political standpoint. Futher more, I may not declare others’ privacy either….good ol day at mental asylum ;)
Blogging is also another way for me to improve my writing skills. I am not going to post a bloody lousy article. It is not what others would think about me. It is about how I can express my ideas clearly. No matter how great my ideas are, but I cannot express them well, then just say goodbye. The greatest thing is no one will mark my writings. Ok Evie…you got an A. Congratulation. Or, Evie sorry you got an F. Work harder, will you?
Blogging is fun. One night someone skyped me. I didn’t know who he was. He read my blog and enjoyed it much (he said so). He liked my first posting about the fairy tale. He suggested me to publish it….ok I thought it was a big compliment, but I wasn’t sure that that writing was good enough to be published. Thanks Nathan, I really appreciated it.
For others, blogging might be a journal or another way to be an exhibitionist. Why exhibitionism? Because we show off, telling others....hey look at me. It is what happened with me. I am sad. I am happy. I am angry. Well...you can add it by yourself.
Apparently, blogging for me is an addiction (I got crazy on it….look at how I became an avid writer. I posted some features(?) within a day) and also a virus, infected more and more people.
I told some friends about my blog. I asked them to give me some comments. Instead of giving me comments, they started blogging. Yuni said that she wanted to write simple things, without any numbers at all.
G, my platonic love, a person who keeps his private life strictly, had created his own blog. Isn’t it great? He was complaining about something on a day before. He told me how disappointed he was. He had such utopian dreams, critical thinking, and warmth heart (oh ok…I can drop this last part). Unfortunately he was stuck on a system that not allowed him to develop his wonderful ideas. I told him to start his blog and write his ideas. This morning he told me that he had his own blog. It’s only one line tho. It's been a long daunting day, I hate this job, I need a change. Don’t get him wrong. He’s a witty well educated guy with good job, he’s just insane.
I could say that blogging is fun. I can express my feelings and ideas without any compromise but with myself. I found new friends. My friends were inspired to create their blogs too.
Open your computer and start writing. Girls…Lecrec said that we, women, need to express our ideas more. Don’t be afraid. Just write and write…oh ok type and type.
