On anonymity and blogging

I’m quite a private person, which is one of the reasons that explains why I’ve stalled for so long before starting a blog myself. That was when I decided that I couldn’t hold back anymore because I just can’t keep everything in my head and human memories fade.

However I find it so hard at times to find the balance between giving it all and yet holding something back. It is so ironic sometimes. What’s the point of publishing on a public platform, although personal as it may sound, when you can’t really express what you actually wanted to say? It feels like showering with your clothes on, which totally fails to serve the original purpose.

Sometimes I just abstained from blogging altogether for some time when I’m in a subdued mood before I did anything that I might regret later on because I don’t know who reads or will read my blog. You won’t know for sure who will stumble upon your blog one day.
