Keeping a blog throughout this semester wasn't an easy task for
me. I'm usually a very reserved person when it comes to my thoughts and my
writing. The idea that any person would be able to see what I've written makes
me a bit queasy, perhaps because I'm somewhat insecure that my writing isn't
good enough, or my way of organizing my blog wouldn't be as nice or unique
looking as my peers. This insecurity has followed me all through my high school
and college career, and I’ve always wanted to find a way to work on reducing or
eliminating.
My blog has been therapeutic in that regard during these past few
months. After a few entries the anxiousness associated with making a posts
starts to go down. Reading my classmates blogs also helped me understand the
perspective of those that might read mine. I wasn’t reading posts in order to
find flaws or criticize in a hurtful way, the intent was exactly the opposite.
Of course there’s always the random person that decides to say something
negative anonymously, but the vast majority of people would just read it and
move on, perhaps giving some helpful criticism. I’m still not completely over
my hang-ups, but the more I write, the easier it gets each time.
