Was talking to Kelz online when I suddenly discovered why I blog so much more when I'm emo-ing (including this one, I've officially totaled 6 posts in the last 19 hours),... than when I'm not emo-ing. Thought I'd share the thought with you.
Now, this is why I blog as much as I do when I'm out of sorts. When my emotions are going wonky and are all over the place. I blog because it Zen's me. It helps me clear my head. Through my writing, I'm able to process my thoughts, assess my situation and understand my feelings. And I never get judged for whatever it is I share cos... well, a blog doesn't talk back, does it?
Blogging also helps me remember what I've been through. It's an online log of all the battles I've undertaken. And a log of all my battlescars. Scars that remind me of how far I've come. And through that log, I see glimpses of what's to come. It's a reminder of how far I have yet to go.
I personally don't think that I'd ever be able to survive without blogging anymore. Seriously. I've grown too accustomed to thinking online that I start feeling crippled when I don't. It may seem weird to those of you who don't blog or who aren't as dependent on your blogs as I am,... but it's the truth. And I'm telling it as it is.
That's the way this blogging thing has grown to become for me. And to be honest, I think I kinda like it this way. Cos no matter where I go, as long as there's the Internet, I know that my best friend's always just a click away. =)

A blog is like a best friend. A silent one. But one who's always there in spite of its inability to respond directly to its writer. (Comments are great but are also a different thing altogether, okay?) One who never fails to listen whenever you need to talk. Whenever you just need to rant. To let anything and everything out. Whatever the hour. (Except when Blogger's down. *rolls eyes* Maintenance nonsense.) AND it remembers everything you tell it!Now, this is why I blog as much as I do when I'm out of sorts.

I think you got way too much time to kill in the office.

ATTN: 3POINT8
– Hey! I have PLENTY to do, okayyy. Why do you think I work some weekends and even from home? Haha.

ATTN: Flora

Take care and happy blogging!
Blogging rocks. Maybe I'll start to write back non-event and non-food related post too.
ATTN: Simon Seow
– Yeah, you should. I mean, it's a totally different market altogether lah but... I like it that way. Less news-y.
Yeah, I can relate to that. It's my personal space to rant sometimes and it'll always listen. ;)
ATTN: Huai Bin
– Sometimes blogs listen better than friends, too. Cos they don't judge us for saying the things we say and for the way we feel.
yeaps.... my blog is my best fren too...
a space i call my own, and listens to me all the time.
u so aptly put it, n i guess i can't imagine doing without one now :P
ATTN: roy f.r.
– Haha. I think it's like that for most bloggers nowadays. We've taken our blogs for granted. We know it'll always be there for us no matter what. Even when people walk away.
