Whenever I don’t post in a long time, I feel reminded of the fact that as far as I know no one reads my blog. Personally, I completely understand. If I am looking at someone’s blog, it is for recipes and/or crafts, neither of which I have many on this blog.
I have for a while wanted to branch out into game/book/anime reviews, but I never have.
Part of it comes from a fear of expressing myself, I suppose. If I say very little that people will argue with, few arguments will start. So a lot of what is on my blog is motivational fluff. Which has its advantages, since sometimes people just need some pretty pictures and encouraging words.
But they are not all I have to offer. Besides, I would be doing reviews. Yeah, people may not agree, but it’s not like I’m talking g about politics or anything that just ask for major moral controversy or anything.
But that’s the thing about fear, it’s not always rational. I have a fear of self-expression, one that has developed in part from a high sensitivity to others feelings of anger and upset, and of being the odd one out in many of my opinions. And that fear has made it difficult for me to express anything, from the correct pronunciation of my name, to my opinions on media, to my actual feelings.
So, it’s irrational frequently. And it’s something I’ll have to overcome eventually, because if I don’t, my voice will die.
And reviews might be an excellent place to start. They are not extremely controversial, something I have seen several of, and no the format, and since no one reads my blog anyway, going to be mostly u read anyway.
