I want to answer a simple question : What makes me blog? (<-- I guess this sentence is not wrong in structure, because "blog" is considered a verb now)
The answer is... I just want to keep track of my life. Someday I'll just open the link and reread my old times' writings. I want this blog to take me back to those memories, to make me remember what I felt at some moments.
Reading your own blog, for me, is like coming home. It is a reminder of who I was and who I am supposed to be. The posts imply my hopes and dreams, tell (indirectly) about what kind of person I really am.
By the way, some songs accompany me while writing this post. I just learned that many writers need "soundtracks" to enhance their writing mood. I'm listening to Taking Back Sunday's songs, my favorite rock band back in Junior High School.
Above is the video of one of their songs, "New American Classics". Good and relaxing acoustic song.
When all that we need is just a reaction,I believe that everyone should write. Write anything: diary, short stories, even lyrics like musicians do. Those lyrics, like the one I quote above, are probably meaningless to most people because we never know what the songwriter had experienced or felt. But someone out there might listen to the song and suddenly be connected, knowing that there is at least one person feeling the same matter.
Its too much to ask for when there's no attraction anymore,
Chasing our dreams is just a distraction
I want to remember what I know
That I can't go back,
Same thing applies to any kind of writings. Maybe you write for your own self just like I do, but you could always inspire people. Your blog posts could always influence someone's life or contribute to one's decision-making.
Closing this post, more lyrics from Taking Back Sunday song: This Photograph is Proof.
So, we're talking forever
And you almost feel better
But, betters no excuse for tonight
You see, it's never been enough
Just to leave all you gave up
But, its never good enough to feel right
