Purpose of blogging?

Blogging is such a waste of time and effort. Why do I bother to blog anyway? And updating it rather frequently too. Well, I don't think blogging is that waste of effort, I'm just trying to fully utilising my unlimited free online connection. I'll just click on the button whenever I feel like writing and start tapping away.

Might or might not come out with something great. I just want to express my ideas and share it with friends. Maybe I'm looking for approval as well, but I'm also hoping for critics to make my writing better... Not that you can call this much of a writing anyway.

I enjoy reading other blogs. It's getting to know how people are going on, how they think and their ideas. Blogging isn't entirely public, it's rather personal really. I felt like somehow, I'm opening up part of my brain for people to come in and have a look. Ideas and literature. And picking up some useful stuff from other blogs too.

Though I must say, I wouldn't use blogs for a diary. Some ideas, some experiences that you feel like shouting out or looking for a place to ventilate your emotions. But definitely not your whole life's story.

Somebody asked me, why I always have so much feelings about things. That's how I am. If I have a pen and a place to write with me 24 hours a day, I'll be writing non-stop. Too many things whirling inside my head. A lot of rubbish maybe, but every little idea might sprout into something big.

Not yet great, just needs time to grow into it. Blogging, let's say it's my practice ground. :)
