I Will Not Start by Cliched Ideals

Salutations.
I gotta say, what's a blog for anyways? I started one in 2010 and look what happened?
Nothing.
I thought it was a 'cool' thing to do, to own a blog but nevertheless, like everything I do, I quit halfway.
But that's only because I could not find a concrete answer to what is a blog for.
Being ignorant, I started blogging without thinking. And truth be told, it lasted only a day.
There wasn't an update until 3 YEARS later. I'd like to say it's an accomplishment probably even resume worthy, but employers nowadays don't look for procrastinators of my caliber right? I mean what a record! Their company statistics are gonna blow off the basement!
It wasn't because I was lazy, it's just I didn't have any motivations to start getting into blogging.
Not like studying, I mean, we study to get good results right? That's motivation.
And then, right after we get into a good college, we wanna secure a good CGPA for employment right? That's motivation.
Next, we have to save money to buy things, for retirement and etc. That there is a big motivation.
But then again, in the end, was it worth it?
In the end, we're chasing and accomplishing goals, not that that's a bad thing, but what sacrifices did we need to make in order for those goals to happen? Precious childhood memories? First kiss? That outing with your friends? Motivation comes from what you want in the future, but what about the present?
So I thought, maybe you don't need motivation to do anything.
Maybe you do something for the sake of doing it?
And with that in mind, I restarted blogging.
I don't expect anyone to read this, but this blog here is gonna be like my diary but public one and maybe a few rants here and there. But basically, it feeds my ego and keeps the illusion that I have excellent writing skills which quite frankly I don't even have the basics down.
Who knows, I might break my personal record and not start blogging again til
