Why hello there. If you're reading this, you're probably also the same person who typed this because let's be honest here, there probably won't be too many readers of this blog. And you know what? I'm ok with that.
Back in middle school and the early years of high school, I had a LiveJournal and a GreatestJournal account. I updated both fairly regularly but soon found myself drawn more towards GreatestJournal. I think it was because at that time I could have more avatars to chose from for the particular blog post. Whatever. The point is that I posted there often and had about two people that "followed" it, an online friend and an IRL friend and I was fine with that then. But then GreatestJournal disappeared off of the face of the Internet (I forget why) and my blogging days were over.
I tried doing the whole Vlogging thing on YouTube (more on that later) and I kept telling myself to post more on YouTube and to start up another blog. But each time, I wouldn't simply because I said to myself "no one else will see it so what's the point." I don't really know why this point bothered/hindered my from blogging or vlogging but it did even though I had gotten over it many years ago with my GreatestJournal venture so why was it a problem now? Honestly, I have no idea. I know everyone always says you should do these sort of things for yourself but come on now, everyone wants some feedback and recognition. So now I move past the notion of others viewing my blog posts.
If people read and comment on them, then people read and comment on them. If they don't then they don't but I figured I would give it a shot because I really do enjoy the feeling of blogging and getting my thoughts out there even if they're just for me to read back on a few days, months, or even years later.
