There are some blogs out there that are perfect. Not in terms of the design, but more of the content that the writer posts. They journal their daily lives – like I do – but their lives revolve around happy thoughts and happiness. It’s almost as if their lives are, well, perfect, which is frankly a little unreal.
I know that your blog is only but an aspect of who you are. It doesn’t sum up your life and your personality. But I believe that a blog is an extension of your identity, it is a written representation of you. If all you ever write about are beautiful, shiny things, then the natural thought is that you lead a beautiful, shiny life, right? If you never speak of struggles or problems, then I can’t learn from you or empathise with you. I cannot connect with you.
Perhaps these people do lead blessed lives or are able to see the positive in every situation. Unfortunately, I am not one of these writers. I have been existing in an emotional flux for a long time now and it shows on this blog. I get angry and angsty – and all of you read about it. There are people who think that I am “emo”, which is a fair enough assessment, I suppose. But I am not going to censor what I write simply to create a positive impression of myself. This blog exists because I love writing and the writing here takes an honest look at my life.
You can not like me based on what I write, that’s fine. But I’m not here to please you nor will I paint a pretty picture of myself when life is often tough and downright ugly.
I shot the Battlestar Galactica ride with my Holga at Universal Studios Singapore. Pity it was closed – the whole area was the highlight of my day!
