I used to have a personal blog when I was 13. Heck, everyone used to have a personal blog when they were 13. (They had sparkling headers, custom smileys, counters, tag boards and all kinds of cutesy scripts.) That was until Facebook came along. It was a breakthrough in socializing; you type something about yourself, and everyone in your network has convenient access to it.
But I turned out to be crazy, a sort of sociopath. I don't like that kind of convenience. I don't really like networking with people. But I still like writing about myself. Thus I'm starting another blog.
Writing seems to serve as mental exercise, as well as an effective emotional release. So, writing something longer than 20 words that doesn't end with "lol XD" must be good for people. With my current state of mind, I need whatever (non-pharmaceutical) therapy I can get my hands on. That's another reason to start a blog.
At the end of this post, I realize if 13 year-olds start blogs just because everyone else is doing it, I don't really have to assert my reasons for blogging, do I?
(And now, the actual introduction.)
Hello, world! I'm one of those kids who contributed to the world wide web a few now-defunct personal blogs brimming with high school dramas and random memes. Although now, I'm five years older, five years more jaded and probably not all that better at writing than five years ago. Please treat me kindly.
