On the New Year
It has come to my realisation - no, in fact, I've always been acutely aware of my lack of effort in this blog since having started it half a year ago, and reviewing in retrospect six months' work to only come across a few half-assed reports makes me reconsider the initial reason for having started this blog. In truth, it was nothing more than a semi-public diary to help me arrange my thoughts, and though I had no specific reason to begin it I'm severely disappointed by my procrastination. Despite going through many experiences I failed to update my regularly, which is lazy on my part.
I think my fear of dejection and negative feedback contributed to an irrational thinking to not update or post ideas. Whilst I had listed, prior to my first post, a list of possible subjects on which to comment, I returned to it later only to wonder if I had been wrong, or if my opinion was unsupported by evidence or fair reasoning, resulting in hesitation and, thus, mundane topics. And, surveying my traffic statistics, it made no sense that I became upset by a lack of views, and yet there I was.
In the last couple of weeks, I reconsidered the future of this blog, and, with the knowledge that there are many a people in the world who release articles fearlessly on strong opinions of huge debates, I came to the decision that I have no reason not to continue posting, be it rants or otherwise, and that I must learn not to be afraid of any opposing opinions to come my way. Everyone, I think, has someone who will inevitably disagree with them, regardless of how logical or fair they are. I'm making it a goal for myself to be mindful of that, and learn not to be disheartened by the mere prospect of criticism.
And so, one month late, I present my new year's resolution to continue posting on here periodically. Tending to the name, I want to create a blog that can be used to review, rant, discuss, share, and be satisfied with the outcome. I want to be unafraid of voicing my opinions, and use articles to be more grateful for the things I am able to experience. While I realise there's still a long way to go, baby steps are the best methods of starting.
Wish me luck, and luck to your own resolutions.
