I am a fairly private person, so this blog is very strange for me. Therefore, I decided to be a little meta and make my first blog post about my first blog.
I have facebook, but I rarely update my status and have very little information about my self. However, I decided to leave this blog open to anyone and everyone, probably because I feel a sort of anonymity connected with it. It's refreshing to put my thoughts out in the universe from the comfort of own room where nobody I'm close with will ever see it or connect it with me. I can see why people like blogging; it's a way of expressing oneself in a very open way while still maintaining a sense of privacy. On the other hand, it seems to be another forum for judgement even if it does have veiled anonymity. I still haven't decided which is more powerful: the freedom of expression without repercussion or the exposure to criticism from people with equal anonymity.
It's not much, but that is my initial impression of blogging.
