If you have a working internet connection, one or more fingers, and a functional brain, you are blog worthy. Blogs are no less than people’s personal feelings regarding the planet, how it functions, and the people that walk it.
Setting up a blog for me is probably the closest I will ever come to actually sharing a personal opinion with anyone. Ironically, being published over the internet, my personal thoughts are being shared with over one million people worldwide. I tried to figure this out and asked myself: Why do I feel more comfortable sharing with over one million people rather than just a select few face to face? I’ve managed to come to the conclusion that I am an introvert because I am always too afraid to share what I have to say for the fear of being judged, of my words being wrong, sounding stupid, or just unimportant. Blogging allows for faceless opinions, without staring at judgmental eyes.
Setting up a blog allows me to read and reread my points carefully, choosing just the right wording, and publishing when I am satisfied with the choices I’ve made.
For me, blogging is my contribution to the public sphere. Blogging reminds me that everyone does have an opinion, whether they are conflicting or not, everyone is entitled to their opinion, even me.
