Glad you're here.

Why do I write?
Why did I write?
Why should I write?

The relationship I share resembles that of middle school girls. One day we can be the best of friends, and the next we'll hate each other and swear to never speak again, only to make-up a week later.

I love writing. And there are so many reasons why I should do it. But whever something negative comes out of it, I immediately feel as though I should give it up. Most recently, I was dwelling on how many people my blog, and I was greedily wanting my readership to increase. I wanted more people to recognize my brilliance and eventually, that started to consume me. Seriously, I thought about it a LOT. When I realized how much it was eating at me, I decided to shut things down, not even tempt myself to give into stuff like that. I told myself that I would continue to write, bit that the writing would just stay in my journals for now.

But that didn't work. After a few days, my writing stopped completely*. So, I've decided to try again...

I was inspired by a quote I heard on a TV show... "It is better to write for yourself and have no public than write for the public and have no self". I compltely agree with this statement. By deleteing my blog, though, I was no longer writing at all, let alone for anyone. This time, I'm going to try something different...

• I'm not going to review statistics related to my blog, especially through FeedBurner.
• I'm not going to "advertise" my blog (via Facebook or whatever)... Other than what's already set up cause I'm too lazy to try to get rid of it all. Ha.
• Everything I write will be written by hand originally. This way, I'll only write about things that I'm truly passionate about or spending lots of time thinking on, and I will take more time to consider my motives.

All that said, I hope I can learn how to stick to something on stop floundering on this subject.
Welcome back, blog.
