Dead or Alive
Sunday, June 20, 2010
I haven't updated this blog for a while now. I'm not sure about going all-out with updating this blog on a regular basis. I feel that blogging just is not as huge as it used to be - now there's Twitter, a microblogging service. Gone are the lengthy posts with colorful texts surrounded with edited photos slapped together with animated GIFs and topping it all, some annoying background music (which may be a little jarring sometimes).
I used to love blogging. Or at least I think I did. I used to write with so much passion. I just can't do the same now. I think blogging has left a permanent scar in me - and that is because what I have written in the past has hurt people before. When I know that I have hurt people, I feel hurt too. What you do comes right back at you, and you are left all alone to take responsibility for it. That is exactly how I got scarred.
I hope that, whenever possible, I can write straight from what I feel at heart. While doing so, I also hope that I can exercise a little responsibility in my content. The main governing principle behind that is simple: What I feel shouldn't hurt people.
