Well, it took some consideration and a great deal of thought, but I finally did it, I created my own blog. This being my first entry I can't say whether it's better to have a blog or it's better off you didn't. What I can say is that it feels somewhat liberating to post your own thoughts but everyone can see them and maybe even comment.I can't help but think that creating your own blog is a way of expressing inner most fears, hidden thoughts and why not unspoken opinions about this and that. So basically we create a blog so that we can release all that bottled up energy, express ourselves in the most honest way (because we don't care whether people like what we say or not) interact with people and eventually establish long term relationships.But again, these are just my thoughts on the matter and each has his/her opinion, we might agree or disagree.
