Over the years of blogging (this is actually my fourth year of doing so), I've come to accept that very few people actually keep up with what I'm writing. And you know what? That's okay. I know that at least one person actively reads my blog (I read his as well), and if nothing else, it's good that he and I can keep in touch through the internet like this, especially considering we don't always have the time to talk on the phone.
That said, the main reason I blog is that it keeps me a little bit more objective about my life, very much like a sort of public journal. I'm not sure where I heard it, but I'm pretty sure it was some wise Asian that once said something to the effect of: "If a day goes by unrecorded, it's as if it never happened at all." Ultimately, I feel that this has a lot of truth to it...when I stop blogging, or journaling, or taking pictures, or keeping a detailed calendar, I often find myself slipping into a detached state of being, one where I kinda feel like I've lost touch with myself just that much more than usual. So, I keep blogging, despite my belief that my story these days is significantly less interesting than it was last year or even the two years before that.
