What's the Reason for Blogging Anyways?

I see many people with blogs. Some have specific topics, others are just whatever, some pertain to the famous world blah blah. Anything goes. This is where thoughts are let free and of course people will read them and may or may not take away from them for their own personal life. I think it's kind of cool how people can just let themselves be so free and open to the world. You don't have to write deep dark secrets but still a thought is a thought and a thought is a personal intimate thing. Right?

As I write, how in the world have I come to writing on a blog to the world? I won't even tell the people closest to me what I am thinking and how I feel. But besides that what really pushed me to start a blog is my needing to speak up. Not about anything that's super important. I am not much of the social person but would like to be. So this blog will give me a chance to just say it. It's not like it's going to be advertised every one's Yahoo, Google and YouTube homepage. A needle in a haystack.
