Why did I revive this blog and what do I want to do with it?
That day I was looking for the lyrics to a new song by my favourite YouTube singer Alex G. To cut the story short, I wanted to keep the lyrics somewhere and remembered I used to post the lyrics to my favourite songs on my blog. So I thought I'd add to the collection!
I also felt that I often have certain thoughts that may be worth sharing but I don't really have an ideal place to share it. As a result I decided to get this blog back up and running to take notes of my ideas and personal views and present them to the world.
It has been around 4 months (1/3 year!! Gosh time sure flies) since that decision and I haven't really made that much use of this blog. For starters I have revamped all the layout and design although to be completely honest I'm not 100% satisfied with it and would consider adapting a new layout, but hopefully this should do for now. I have also tried posting some of my stories, thoughts, and ideas but every time I find it quite a struggle to write a good post and I still don't really know how to make a good blog.
I have thought about posting a gratitude journal, to take a step back and think of things that I have in life that I shouldn't take for granted. Simple things really, like waking up to find myself and my loved ones in good health, eating good homemade food, and being able to sleep under a roof. Or having someone I could share with, an opportunity to study abroad, and experiencing new challenges in life. I want to be able to read this journal yeeears later and smile at it. :) Or hopefully inspire and remind others to be grateful in life.
However, I'm not really sure how to present it, how often to post, how to make it an interesting read for others to keep wanting to see more, and whether I would be able to commit to it. Yeah, I'm the kind of person who likes to plan, plan, plan and complicate things. Why can't I just start doing it? Umm, I don't know why, I just can't. :( I need to have it all planned out before I start. Haha. Please tell me if it's a good idea to start a gratitude journal!
On another note, I've been reading really interesting blogs and it reminds me of how much I want to get my own blog running but I don't know how to make it work. Many interesting blogs have a certain focus or theme targeted to a certain group of audience. Can I do that? What focus should I pick? I don't really have anything I'm particularly good at, or like to write about. I like to think that I'm quite a diverse person (except in sports) in that I find every little subject interesting, but I don't really have a specific huge passion in any field. Sighs. :(
There are many other difficulties in maintaining a blog, but I can't think about them if I don't even have a good blog in the first place right? I need to plan out what sort of content I should present on my blog and what style I'd like to adapt. Having a too diverse blog wouldn't be the best thing to do, so I hope I could come up with something.
This post is an example of how clueless I am about blogging. LOL.
At least I'm trying!
Please do help! Let me know what sort of content you'd like to see me write. Looking forward to hear your inputs. :)
