Why am I doing this?

I’ve made a bunch of blogs before. I never wrote on most of them, though. I got them all set up, and then left them.

However, two of them endured. They were both pseudonymous, and I never shared them with my friends. And that, I think, is why they succeeded. On those blogs, I didn’t feel like I had to censor myself and could just blurt out anything that came to mind.

This blog, however, will be different. I do plan on sending this one to my friends. I don’t have social media, but I would love to have a way for my friends to keep up with me. Which leads us to a blog.

What makes this blog different than the previous ones I made which failed? Why will I post on this one when I never posted before? I think there are two reasons: a) I actually have friends now who care about keeping up with me, and b) I feel like I finally have interesting things to say. Will some of the posts on here be inane drivel interesting only to myself? Naturally. But I do hope to have a large percentage of it be interesting to my friends and whoever else chooses to drop in.
