To Blog or not to Blog
Just ended up reading my blog again tonight. Been wondering what to do with it for a while. Whether to burn it to ashes so the phoenix of a new blog can rise... That's still an option, but I do like this blog's name - which is a big factor in its chances of survival.
Speaking of the importance of names, I've been an on-and-off member for 5 years of the WoW guild with the coolest name ever. I do really love the people there. I just don't love WoW. It feels a bit like trying to stay with a girl I'm fed up with because I really like her family. Hope I can find some compromise in the future so as to stay in touch properly while avoiding the grind and timesink of WoW.
Anyway, as I say, been reading my blog, and it reminded me of why I used to blog. It's so that there'd be a record of my thoughts and feelings for the future. In hindsight my simplification of my game reviews was a mistake. No one's gonna read this except for me. And maybe my family after I die. And it's good to go back and read what I've written. Especially as I write so well, ma sha Allah!
It reminds me of when I come across a funny piece of writing from my teens, and realise just how good it was. Can i maintain a habit of blogging? I honestly and truly don't know. What I do know is that I hope I can. Not to prove my strength of will. Not to please other people. Not to develop my writing skills. But because I'll enjoy reading these back at various points in my future. Do I care enough for my future self? Only time will tell...
