All Blogs Go to Heaven
A few years ago I developed a love/hate relationship with my former blog on livejournal.com. Blogging was far too stressful. What's the point of a blog when you constantly feel like you have to walk on egg shells? It's out on the Internet for the whole world to see for a reason right?
Sure, maybe I want the attention. Okay, so maybe that's a big reason for this blog. Don't judge, you know you identify with that too.
Anyway, the former blog became a burden instead of its original purpose - a way to vent from the daily stresses of early adulthood...and to be published (in a sense) for free.
I became weighed down by the mandatory feeling to be artsy, use lengthy words that I last saw in multiple choice format on my high school SAT, make sure I was only listening to folk and indie music while writing my blog, and feeling the need to constantly watch my comma placement and run on sentences.
And so I left my blog and the idea of blogging as a whole. For good. Okay, minus a few brainless surveys posted on myspace. What a waste of time and a guilty pleasure!
Until a couple weeks ago. I started feeling uninspired and suffocated. I'm attributing this all to my new corporate career. Which don't get me wrong, I'm really enjoying it, but at the same time there is no room to create in my current corporate environment. Which motivates me all the more to take it outside the office.
And so here I am, expressing my feelings on everything and anything I feel like while all the while remaining loyal to one of the greatest Internet tools ever invented: google and gmail. It's one big, happy google family and I'm the inherited cousin by marriage.
Welcome to Catharsis Crossing. A place where there are no artsy and creative standards. A place where spelling and grammar errors are accepted. And finally, a place where there is no shame in looking for inspiration in "Push it" by Salt-n-Pepa."
So may the old blog and the blogs after it rest in peace.
But hey...all blogs go to heaven.
