So with that in mind, I'm quite hesitant to actually start, for fear of making a stuff up of it.
I also am yet to decide the nature of my blog...like i dunno if it's gonna be motivational, inspirational, serious, or humorous stuff. I like to think I am versatile, so I feel I will probably include a little bit of all when I write.
- Perhaps I should make my first blog about education in South Africa at the moment (a topic I can speak for hours on).
- Or perhaps I should make my first blog about my recent break up from my boyfriend who was also my best friend.
- Or perhaps I could talk about a campaign that I am running called AlcoFreeFeb, where I have pledged to give up alcohol for the month of February. (Anybody interested by the way can view our site by clicking here)
- Otherwise I could probably write a blog about how I feel I often take my family for granted. For example, when they are around I dont spend time with them, but when they arent I desperately wish that they were here.
- I could also write somewhat inspirational or motivational pieces. I used to take chapel services at school, and loved finding relevant, modern stories to link with what God wants from us, and wants for our lives.
- I could also write about my friends, and how at the moment I feel like everybody is leaving, even though it's only a few people, and that my best friends are actually still in close proximity.
- Something else I could write about is something about how technology has taken over our lives. As I type this, I have 3 other windows open - email, Facebook and Twitter, and 2 applications - Mxit and Skype. And at the same time I still try to do my University work for tomorrow, and listen to music.
I think that what's important about this whole blog story, is that I am happy with what I write. It's somewhat like an online diary, and with that I think that if I find what I write interesting, therapeutic or relevant, then it will be ok. (By the way, I will probably end up creating separate blogs for the topics I mentioned above...so keep checking!)
Until then
(Um, still waiting to think of a really cool sign off...)
It's hard to know where to start when blogging. I'm certainly no expert at the medium, but when hook up with people online, as opposed to face to face, I'm interested to see how they represent themselves in their online environment. Perhaps what I really like is when that person demonstrates that this is not a one way conversation and they are willing to use what ever they talk about to connect with other people
