Ideas

Yesterday, I went and picked up a TIME magazine which inspires me to restart my blogging passion which usually only last around one month maximum. Blogging itself has been a joy for that short period of time, but alas, due to the lack of time and lack of interest, most of this Blog's predecessors died before they even reach maturity.

To be very honest I think there's another reason why all those blogs died. It was just yesterday after reading the article in the TIME magazine by columnist Joel Stein which talks about our age as the age of individualism, then it struck me, all this time, I have never used a blog as an avenue to be myself and express myself as who I really am. I have tried to create countless personas and wrote countless posts which, looking back now, I really think are immature and nonsensical. Reading through my previous post I question myself, 'Did I really change so much from that time when I wrote these posts?'.

Well no more of that from now on, and hopefully with this new resolution of trying to be myself in a blog as much as possible, this blog will live longer and survive over the coming weeks, months or even years.

Don't you just have crazy ideas sometimes? Ideas that just comes to you out of nowhere and you yourself are awestruck by how strange and brilliant those spontaneous ideas are. And how many of those inspirations have gone down the drain, just because you decided to shelf it inside your mind and forgot to take it out where it is lost into the realm of 'the things I forgot'.

You may wonder why I just wrote that paragraph about brilliant ideas lost by ourselves,and to be frank you have as much of an answer to that question as me. It just seemed like a good idea at the moment and I decide to pen it down to save it from drowning in the the realm of 'the things I forget'. Who knows, i might look at that paragraph someday and be inspired to write something even more meaningful or at least something which have a better structure of ideas than this one.

This is a journey for me, a journey that I am going to try to take, and hopefully it can be your journey too.
