To let it flow…

So it is more than obvious that I’d pretty much abandoned this blog without any prior announcement of doing so over a year ago, and perhaps it’s even more pathetic to now admit that I never even planned on coming back, but of course, we all have a relapse every now and then and manage to come back to something we enjoyed in a past repeatedly.

But now I’ve decided on a simple purpose of this blog.

My aim had always been too high. I wanted to make a couple of online friends, I wanted an active in-flow of commentary on my posts, and I tried to make at least a slight majority of my posts to somehow encourage that behaviour, but my lack of activity had always been my hindering factor.

So now what I really want to do is clarify. No longer am I striving for anyone to honestly read my posts, but more like, it’d be a pleasant surprise if that does indeed happen every once in a while.

I’ve always been more technologically inclined when it came to everything. Even now, I’m not the type of person that you would find having any type of paper with them. A very large majority of my notes and assignments are electronically stored. I take written notes with a stylus on my tablet in class, I type them up whenever I deem it easier to do so, and I don’t find the aesthetic appeal of needing to have a hard copy of everything.

Thus, this is why I came back here.

It was a simple and random, but still shockingly logical decision on my part. I was looking for a way to vent through writing, and though I love creative writing (particularly stories), I was way too much of a perfectionist to even bother posting anything that could have still been considered a draft. Not to mention, I’m too nit-picky with how I want things worded, and that becomes even more apparent when I’m writing a story. So a blog was the perfect way to vent, through all the bland posts and reflect. And, of course, because it was electronic, I was even more inclined to do so.

Basically, I’d come to the conclusion that blogging is the perfect way for me to vent, and knowing that there might be some random person reading this, I still try to maintain a bit of formality within my writing, and not just curse everything to their deaths as I tend to do more often than not…

I will not say that I will update this often, but I will say that I will use this blog as a way to let my own words flow as freely as I’d wanted them.
