Why Do I Blog?

I’ve been blogging on and off for many reasons after four years writing about life’s common issues on quarter-life crisis, soul-searching, life’s simple pleasures and self-preservation.  I even promised myself many times that I will stop writing about my own personal life for the sake of privacy, however, the following things has kept me coming back to continue one of the very few things I love doing:

  1. It is less stressful than having to repeat my story to several people.  And since it is impersonal to rewind and play the tape recorder to recant my tales, I refer them to my blog site.
  2. It is an online personal diary where one can always can go back to and laugh at old memories.
  3. Creates another avenue of social interaction to meet new people and forge new friendships.
  4. Freedom to express opinions, hidden desires and nobody will judge except people who get affected otherwise.  Best used with a faceless alias unless most of your readers already knows you by your first name.
  5. Best outlet for releasing pent-up emotion, then refer back to #2.
  6. The natural high of being read without even trying.  Once you published your entry in the internet, there is always a fraction of its audience, reading your entries without you knowing it.  Visitor hits eventually increases if you manage to keep your consistency and even get a few techniques from our SEO experts. 
  7. The fact of being helpful to readers by providing useful information that they would have never known in a thousand years. 
  8. Easiest way to get the attention for a KSP fix.
  9. The feeling of meeting a complete stranger saying, “Hey! I know you.  I read your blog.”
