blogging about blogging

August 8th, 2009 1 comment »

There is I think a slight difficulty in making the comeback (cue LL Cool J) to blogging in that I’ve lost the original inspiration I had to write in the first place. I used to have the need to voice out my opinions, but being that I don’t particularly like talking writing was always the option for me. And to put them out there in a public forum was ideal in fulfilling the need to write, having something resembling an audience and not needing any experience or approval to write what I wanted.

But I’m not exactly the same person I was in late 2002 when the first incarnation of this blog came about. Seven years. It seems like an eternity. And in the process of growing up and hopefully maturing along the way I’ve come to appreciate my own opinions less and less.

Still, I feel like writing is the only skill I actually do have on an innate (and also inane) level. So this blog is now basically an exercise book for me. I hope to force myself back into the habit of writing, working myself up to a stage where writing isn’t a chore for me and the words flow out more easily. Insya-Allah.

Peace.
