Concerns
Excitement and Insecurity with Blogging
I think blogging is a great way to share my thoughts, but I also think some may see it as pretentious. Do people really care about what I think, and just because I can write about what I think, does it mean I should? There is definitely a blend of feelings between excited and insecure about forum posting. On the side of excitement, I have had a bizarre year, there are so many topics on my mind when I think about my personal life. I have a lot of interests, and I already love the idea of having a space to talk about those interests, thoughts and beliefs.

On the side of insecurity, I feel strange about having this space, and that literally anyone could have this space. In the digital world, all of what I am writing now is permanent. I can't take back these words, so it makes me feel like I want to be more reserved in my writing. But there is an incentive to be fully transparent in my writing, it would set me apart, and make my thoughts special, raw and truly present. The caveat is that there is a greater risk of writing something that is subject to scrutiny.
Lastly, I think that writing for my personal interests will be a lot more insightful than writing for professionality. Professional endeavors are in my opinion meant to be very tight, unassuming, and withdrawn until there is a level of trust between two parties. Writing for my personal interests feels so much closer to an experience like live-streaming, where there's a stream of consciousness that will not be taken too seriously, and that's the side of blogging I would love to explore. I would love to explore topics that I and other folks can relate to, not just topics that are to be taken seriously by other scholars, while I wouldn't be opposed to explore that side as well. Is there room for both? I am not one-hundred percent sure what this blog will end up being, but I hope it can be something I am not embarrassed of in the future.
