I have a bunch of bloggable entries, but most of them too short – which makes them more likely candidates for some shallow twitter-esque<\/em> entries than actual meaningful posts you can share with people. That’s not to say that my most of posts are of any valuable significance; but in order to explain why I personally think it isn’t enough to post one-liners, I thought I’d share how I’ve always seen the culture of blogging in context of the world wide web.<\/p>\n

I’ve always appreciated how majority of readers take the time to visit one’s site (or clicks on one’s pane in an RSS reader) and read – as one discusses the many minutiae surrounding one’s life.<\/p>\n\n

It’s that same appreciation of effort that I feel obliged to, in turn, make my posts as comprehensive as possible. Not all people will relate to what you’re saying, but that doesn’t mean they are incapable of understanding<\/em> it. So rather being so<\/em> brief and cryptic, I at least try to give enough information to avoid them regretting wasting n<\/em> seconds\/minutes of their lives reading something they couldn’t make sense out of. I have to admit I may end up making it too long and drawn out, but I always felt it better that people could read, understand, and decide if they wish to continue with the “dialogue;” than not having the chance at all.<\/p>\n

Just like in film, literature, music, or anything that’s meant to be shared;<\/em> no one can deny that a big reason they engage in their respective art is for people to appreciate it. And no matter what they say (insert all your I-do-this-for-myself-and-no-one-else<\/em>, arguments here) they do want<\/strong> their material to get through to others. If it was really<\/em> for themselves, then just write on a diary or something; never making it known to the world.<\/p>\n

I don’t see the need to spend so much more time and money getting on the web, when you can just write whatever you feel in a cheap diary you will have with you forever and ever – after all, it’s just for yourself no?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
