my first blog!

I was never used to writing my thoughts down. I tried writing on journals then but I was too paranoid of having someone else reading it. Either that I'm watching too much tv with journals used as entry to one's own thoughts, or the fact that my sister made fun of me when I was still 13 about how I wrote some crush I had on this one boy. So I have decided to just deal with all that and start writing. I think no one is old enough to start something.
When I was in Pennsylvania, I remember having a church member tell me I should give writing on journals a shot. He said, when I feel sad, alone, or when just about anything is bugging me, I should write it down and I would feel better. I had tried that for quite a few times, only to tear off the page as soon as I finish writing all my thoughts.
I had 2 physical journals when I was in my home country. One was something I made from scratch, creative as some described it but I did not really use it for it's purpose. I had another one that was a gift from a very close friend. I did like how it seemes so formal. I liked that it was handy and decent enough but at the same time when I would start to write something on it, I just felt like I needed to write something smart, something witty enough for me to read back and say to myself" I cannot believe I wrote that" . I guess I never did muster up enough courage to do so, instead I opted to write romantic quotes or life lessons I read, heard or experienced. Thinking about it, I feel like I should have brought that with me.
Maybe this whole web blogging wouldn't be so bad, I've seen and read other people's blogs and they seem fun. I do wish though I would be able to make use of it not just fr myself but maybe share something to others who might be able to come accross my blog. At least with this, I am quite aware it is for the entire public to read. So here is a shot at blogging.
