A Blast from the Past

Last night, the hubby and I were working on our web projects. He has been adamant that I consistently update my blog. Of course I naturally resisted thinking I don’t really have anything to write about, and sometimes, I suck at writing. I go around in circles and make no point at all. I never really had confidence in my writing, having been a frustrated one growing up. I was a regular contestant in writing contests - poetry, short stories, essays. I never really won any award much more get some recognition. I was part of the school paper, but heck, as a lowly Health and Science Reporter. Glam, I know…

So my hubby sent me links to my old blogs, one in Blogspot, one in Wordpress to try and inspire me a bit. I browsed around and got nostalgic all of a sudden. Man, I was a whiner. I think I still am. Most of my entries are driven by a dim reflection or something to that effect. But I realized something. Though I did not excel in formal channels of writing, for lack of a better term, I’m eloquent in expressing myself in those blogs. Aside from reminding me of my past experiences, I was actually enjoying reading my entries like it was from someone else (yeah, I’m competitive by nature). My hubby was successful in showing me his main reason in pushing me to blog, blog, blog. Yeah, I can strut it like that. Hehe.

I hope I can keep it up. From now on, I will be bringing relevance to this space. I have said this many many times already, but this time, I mean it. I sure hope so. I will not aim to please people with my writing, I will aim to please myself. Starting here, I could probably evolve to something better.
