I hate/love blogging

I have figured out why I love and hate blogging at the same time. It's a weird relationship, actually. I like what it does for me, but I hate what it does to me. Kindoflikegirlfriends


Wait, what?

Anyways, the reasons why I love blogging.

1.) I find it really handy to be able to just write about anything that I want in any form that I want.

2.) It's just really nice to have a way to organize my thoughts just once, and whenever I want to review my thoughts on something, all I have to do is just come back and read what I wrote.

3.) I think it helps keep in touch with people.

Even though there are soo many reasons some reasons to love blogging, I also hate it so much. There's really only one reason though: Blogging messes with the way I think.

It's also the reason I don't like updating my Fb status all the time. Ever since I can remember, I've thought in pictures. The first step of my thought process isn't in words; I see pictures first. Once I see it in my head, then I can describe it with words. It's also why I think I have such a hard time talking sometimes. Usually I don't hear what I'm about to say until it actually comes out.

I guess it's having more of a science and math based mind than a literature mind. It helps me with Geometry, Physics, Trig, anything like that really. But when it comes to Lit, it gets uncomfortable. Writing things like blogs, status updates, and anything where I have to think in "I, Me, He" form is the worst. Once I start thinking like that, it's hard to stop. I start thinking in words and it just feels so dramatic. Kind of like I'm a narrator in some over-the-top novel. It's different for creative writing because I'm free to picture things in my head and then describe them, like what I'm used to doing.

So there are my feelings toward blogging. I like it, but it messes with me.
