Guess Who's Back?

Okay, so I lasted over a week without blogging - I'm proud! And yeah, I could've lasted longer, but the reason I'd taken a temporary leave, was so that I would stop blogging about one poor guy. I wanted to wait until I just got over him. And about a thousand Tumblr posts later, I have. Kinda. I mean, I'm not exactly over him, but I accept it, and I'm cool with it.

A friend of mine was talking to me the other day. He mentioned how he was concerned that I was posting depressing statuses a lot recently on Facebook, and he asked why. I said it was my substitute for quitting blogging. He asked me why I did it. Why did I post my business all over the internet for everyone to read? Why didn't I just write it all down in a diary? Or type them up, but not post them?

And the weird thing was, I couldn't really answer him. I mean, I have a diary - it isn't used very often - but blogging is just...different. It makes me feel better. Seeing everything on screen helps me find some sort of closure about the situation. Helps me to accept it. Plus, it develops my writing style, and writing is something I enjoy - when there are no boundaries.

Blogging isn't just writing up what you did that day, or (believe it or not) just bitching about a topic.

"It makes me feel better."

It's a lot more than that. And for once, I can't think of some witty analogy to explain it easier.

I can't say I don't write for the attention either, because truth is, I love attention. Heck, we all do. I'm the kind of girl who when I was little, would wish to break my leg, just so I could have the cool cast that everyone would get to sign. But I do realise that there is a line, and blogging is my limit.

Also, it's a good way of telling people (or one person), how you feel, without actually telling them to their face.

More recently, a girl I was talking to asked me why I was seemingly more upset lately. I told her it was because I couldn't vent through blogging, and talking doesn't really help.

She said "But, that seems stupid: why quit if it makes you feel better?"

And you know what? She's right. I'm not going to quit just because one person disapproves. I'm not going to quit just because a few people think I go too far by telling the world my life and lies. If I enjoy it, I'm going to keep doing it. And if you don't like it? Then don't read it. 

I know you all were expecting some great comeback special - some amazing piece of writing to make up for the many I missed out on - but really, I just think this needed to be said.

That is all.
