A couple of weeks ago, during a conversation on my blog, someone asked me, "Why do you do that?" My answer was simply, "Why not? It's like a journal or diary. It's just online" This person continued on...."But WHY? Why do you talk about such personal things? Aren't you afraid people will take your information and use it against you?"
My answer, "No. If someone wants to do that, they will do it whether or not I blog. They will always find a way. I will not live my life in fear of others possibly stealing my identity or anything else." Besides, one of the most popular books in the world is a diary. Diary of Anne Frank ...I don't think what I have to say is THAT profound. But if a selfless 15 year old can do this, then I can too.
But...why do I blog?.....I suppose it goes much deeper than that. As I have stated before, I initially started blogging when my grandmother become ill. Blogging became a way to cope and get my thoughts and emotions out when I was 12 hours away from Granny and the rest of my family. Writing is very cathartic for me.
Also, I feel like I have a lot to say that maybe can help someone else that may feel or experience some of the things that I have. I don't pretend to be the "end all-be all" of answers for everyone. But if I can reach one and help one person, than my job is done...as cliche as it sounds. There are 7 BILLION people in the world. Out of that number, 650 MILLION of those people are disabled. If ONE of those 650 MILLION people reads my blog and realizes that they can still have a life...that they don't have to stay locked up alone in their home...that they CAN live on their own...have friends....Date...get married....Do EVERYTHING else that the non-disabled population does, then YES...my job is done!!!
Also, I'm grown and I do what I want. :-P
