Why I Create This Blog

Read in BM

I’ve been writing blogs on Blogspot since 2009. Back then, I actually managed three different blogs!

Then, social media came along. I started writing there instead—mostly just short status updates. But whenever I wrote something long, it would end up way too long. Eventually, I stopped writing completely and just spent all my time consuming other people’s content.

After that came the era of short-form videos that keep us doomscrolling. I fell right into that trap too. Total addiction.

Right now, I’m in the middle of trying to break this addiction. But honestly, it’s so hard. I want to get back into writing just to keep myself busy, so I don't constantly feel the urge to check social media and consume content.

And that is how this blog was born.

To be completely honest, my writing isn’t great to read right now. While typing this out, I had to pause so many times just to look for the right words. They are simple words, but they just wouldn't pop up in my head. My brain feels so rusty and blunt.

But even so, I’m just going to leave my posts exactly as they are without over-editing them. Let it be. This isn't an exam!

Hopefully, I’ll improve and get my writing groove back soon.
