Writing in a diary or keeping a journal – a way to express how you truly feel in ultimate privacy. Back in the day, teenagers used to do this in old school pen and paper. We’ve now moved on from that book which reads “KEEP OUT” on the cover with that silly little lock, to newer and better things.
Being a 90s kid, I’ve grown up in world where I can no longer remember how life was let alone live without the internet. The internet too has grown up with us. Remember that deafening dial-up tone? I know I do. Funny junk, MSN, Neopets, Bebo, Myspace, Facebook and now blogs or tumblr’s – all of these things have dominated our lives ever since we could turn on the computer. Sure, I may be addicted to the internet but there is one thing that makes me want to shut it off, unplug my computer and go back to pen and paper. Let me please make something clear:
A BLOG IS NOT A DIARY.
Although I love trawling the net for hours on end in search of new and entertaining blogs/tumblrs; sadly the ratio of good blogs to bad is just too large to even comprehend. Why do people feel the need to write what they would normally write in a diary – away from prying eyes – instead post it onto the world wide motherfucking web? If you wouldn’t post it on facebook, then don’t post it on your blog. We all hate that emo kid who posts ridiculously depressing and totally ‘subtle’ status’. (Yes faggot, we all know who you’re hinting at.) Well the same rules apply to your blog. Here’s a tip: If you want people to ‘follow’ you and read your blog; make it entertaining – it’s that simple! I personally don’t want to read your diary, but then again maybe that’s just me.
