Blogging...

My purpose for this blog was never to gain attention to myself, nor to gain popularity. My main purpose of blogging is to open up a part of myself, to voice out things that I don't get to in non-virtual world and to share with loved ones the things in life, how I've grown and other things that makes me joyful or sad and interesting things I've encountered.

I write what I want. I show what I want. I am not tied to the wants of readers nor affected by it. I hate it when people try to control what I say and what I voice out. It feels like they are stifling my voice. This is also how my blog came about too I guess. :)

I am happy that there are people who care who comes to read and occasionally reply. I am happy now that pests that gossip and turn everything good to bad don't know where my blogs are.

I wrote about this because a friend who has recently became a little closer asked for my blog. I don't trust her just yet. She just started blogging and she's all into the popularity, you follow mine I follow yours that kind of thing. I don't want to get into it. I only let mature understanding bloggers follow mine because they understand if I told them never publicly link my blog to their blog because the others will find out where my blog is. It's not that I hate them of have a phobia for them but because it is a boundary that I've set to protect myself, not to get hurt again. Plus sometimes in some relationships, certain things are better left untold and unknown. It doesn't mean to keep secrets but because the other might take it wrongly which causes more chaos than not. In addition, it doesn't concerns them also.

But for my besties, I can talk and listen to anything. The heart has settled down now which is a good thing. :D No more confusing rages of hormone kind of thing.

I am myself more than anything as I speak here. The article I read in Reader's Digest about communication is really sound. It says that without the obstruction of facial expressions and physical gestures, in the virtual world, out thoughts and words get more... how to say.. more open and direct than not. Something like it gets easier to voice out things virtually than verbally in person.

Over the years I've learnt and gained wisdom of what to post and what not to. Still learning but still myself whenever I talk here. :)

Plus, I love writing :)
