"I'm going to do it for real this time--I'm going to blog regularly!"
Happy January 3rd! It's not the first time the thought has crossed my mind. In fact, I've told myself countless times that I'm going to start blogging on a regular basis. Blogging on a regular basis is just one of the many items on my Bucket List. Now, what's a regular basis? Daily? Weekly? Monthly? I would like to commit myself to blogging at least once a week, if not more. It can't be that hard, right?
After all, I've only tried this how many times before? I'm not even sure, because I can't remember the usernames and passwords to all the blog accounts I've started on various websites.
Besides, blogging is like keeping a diary. I've had two diaries/journals in my life. One, I started when I was nine, but I ripped it up because I was so humiliated by what I wrote and I was terrified my mother would find it. I look back now and realize how silly I was then, though. Whatever I wrote couldn't possibly be that embarrassing and horrifying, right? I guess the world will never know.
The second diary (I renamed it "journal" when I was older) was started when I was thirteen, after I had read The Diary of Anne Frank. I thought it would be cool if something like the Holocaust happened during my lifetime and then people came across my diary after I was dead. (Okay, that sounds really terrible, because it would NOT be cool if something like the Holocaust happened again. There was nothing cool about it). Nonetheless, I wanted my future children and grandchildren to have something to laugh at (assuming they exist, because at the rate I'm going now, they won't).
Honestly, I just love writing. I love going back and reading what I wrote when I was younger, no matter how humiliating it is. It's exciting to see how much I've grown over the years, so why not blog? After all, I do think--a lot. I have so many thoughts that I don't know what to do with them all, so I ought to write them all down and share them with the world (assuming anyone cares to read them. If they don't, at least I'll be able to entertain myself in a year or five or ten).
So here it is. My first blog post of 2014. If I don't write before next Friday, there's a chance this blog has joined all my other blogs in Blogger Graveyard.
