Why Blog?-I can be who I am

I grew up being told you were strange if you talked to yourself and really bad off if you answer yourself.....well, I do both so I guess I'm really in trouble.  So then, you may ask, why do I blog?  Blogging is a way of allowing yourself to be open in your own opinions and not having people confront of whether you are right or wrong.  It is a stress reliever and a way for sharing how you really feel.  People nowadays are afraid to say what they think or how they feel without being judged or criticized.  Blogging is a way for me to openly share where I stand on an issue or just to rant about something that may have happened that day.  If someone doesn't share my opinion or wants to say something about it they can do so without trying to change me on my feelings or beliefs.  It is an open way of "freedom of speech" that we are all entitled too.  I think a lot of younger generations have strong feelings or beliefs on today's issues and this is a great way for us to be open about and let people know we do think about more than just video games or what shirt to wear.  Blogging to me is a way of sharing my interpersonal-self and sharing what is important to me about living today.
