Starting a minimal, mostly written blog has been an idea I have been playing with a lot. Life circumstances have now made this decision absolutely required for me.
Clarifying my own ideas
Unfinished Ideas flow through my head and sometimes disappear as quickly as they appeared, or most of the time morph into a slightly different idea. Forcing myself to put my thoughts into writing helps me to capture these as they are in the moment and fully flesh them out.
Putting my ideas out there
I live a fairly lonely life, especially at the time of starting this blog. Even if I do not need a lot of social interactions, I still somehow need to put my feelings, thoughts, ideas out there. It is a little bit like throwing a bottle into the sea, but I believe that at times it will reach readers who will find some interest in my scribblings.
Finding like-minded people
If writing this blog allows me to get some kind of reactions from people who walk through life in a similar way, this will be my biggest success and satisfaction. Every person is intrinsically unique. Finding persons who resonate the same is maybe the highest reward in life.
Blocking negative thoughts
Writing definitely helps me going through the most troubled time of my life. I have always been spared from tragedy and deprivation, but this time it has hit me in the core. This is something I have to deal with. Writing helps me keep my thoughts focused instead of wandering into unnecessary alleys.
Feedback is highly welcome
I would love to interact with people through this blog. Your feedback is welcome and appreciated on this scribbling as well as on all future ones.
