As I begin to write this I'm filled with both anticipation and apprehension at embarking on this new task. I must confess i am a virgin to blogging. Mhm. Sad but true. I never thought I'd be doing one of these but i guess sometimes the things you least think you're going to be doing are what you end up doing =x
Idealistically in my mind i wish i could just write down my thoughts on this blog easily. I wish ideas could flow freely and just float onto the page, but the truth is that I find this task awkward. The thought of expressing personal thoughts and occurrences in my life on this page is thrilling yet a bit frightening. It makes me wonder who's going to read my blog and either relate to my opinions and beliefs or be completely opposed to everything I write. To me this feels like waiting for the verdict in a packed courtroom. Lol.
Truthfully, I find the whole idea of blogging has a very voyeuristic sense to it. Think about it, you don't always know who reads your blogs and in a way they're kind of spying on you because they're reading your private thoughts made true on paper. In this for me lies the challenge: opening myself up to possible strangers. Not just simply that, but opening myself up to those who know nothing about me yet will freely make up their own opinion of who I am based on what they read.
As I sit here with my laptop on my lap, I repeatedly read over what I've written and I think to myself: is it good enough? Is my teacher going to like it? Are my viewers gonna find it interesting? If it's just supposed to be an opinion then why do i care if it's good enough? Lol. Yet here i find myself slightly dreading/anticipating pressing the "Publish Post" button. Oh well, here goes nothing!
