Why I started blogging

I'm back. :)

 

Twenty-eight articles (I think) later and I’m only talking about this now. I started blogging because updating my Facebook status more than three times a day became socially unacceptable.  I then resorted to texting, and realized that people aren’t always going to entertain my 200 word texts just because they asked me “Hey Ntsa, how’re you?”  I then started using voice notes like you wouldn’t believe, using pictures, all with the aim to make it look like I’m not saying so much… I really just want my point to be driven across exactly the way I meant it.  Then there’s the option of diaries.  I'm not good at that, it becomes too thorough and looking back at some of the entries is sometimes heart breaking to say the least. Then I joined Twitter, which felt to me like a micro-blog.  The journey was fun and games until the 140 characters became a limitation…

 

I then started blogging, because I get to say absolutely anything I want to say and I don’t have to check how many likes, retweets or shares I get from it.  I just, you know, check my views only 37 times a day to make sure I’m not talking to myself. Hahaha.  There’s just enough vagueness and clarity in a blog.  It’s beautiful. 

 

Blogs really are God’s way of telling me He loves me.  My ridiculous love of quiet time and being alone is strange because I LOVE TO SPEAK.  To the right people, of course.  So what a lovely platform this is.  Until I cant squeeze my thoughts into a blog page and a book starts tapping on my shoulder.  Because, what is life?

 

Between the last blog and this one, there isn’t anything that hasn’t happened in my life.  Oh, the double negation.  Hope I said it right.  I’ve had births and deaths of people and things.  I’ve had a range of Aha! moments. I’ve fought and made up, I’ve crushed and uncrushed.  I’ve had a birthday.  I’ve exercised and quit. And repeated the cycle countless times.  I’ve sat, as a result, with blogs in my drafts that all offend some or other part of society yet I’m still in the Impress-ALL-Your-Readers phase.  Im not quite ready to get cocky.

 

Anyway.  I’m still here… trying to write a generic blog.
