Blogs in General

Blog: a personal website on which an individual records opinions, links to other sites, etc. on a regular basis

I was thinking about this yesterday, how do people begin to blog? Why?

I can only answer these questions because I have been there and know the answer, just like anyone else who begins their blog. But in truth, I believe people begin their blogs for completely different reasons. I started mine because I felt alone even though I always have someone near by and maybe, just maybe someone will read and understand what I have to say. I don't know. My blog in reality just gives me a space to write, imagine, think. Perhaps pose some questions with the hopes of someone else answering them or maybe posing their own questions on the same matter. Maybe I just want someone to listen. Is that selfish? Do I spend too much time listening to other people, and now maybe for a second I would like other people to listen to what I have to say. I don't know.

Wow I have strayed off topic:) I think a blog is personal. We talk about things we like. Show pictures of things we like and places to where we have been or where we would like to go. They are written are all over the world, written by tonnes of people with the hopes of being heard, in all different languages and dialects.
It's our way to make an impact. What do you think?? Why did you start your blog? Why are you still writing it?
