Ok so while my thoughts on “I’m sorry” have definitely come to the fore in my time abroad, it also seems to be a nice segue into a discussion on blogging and guilt. Clearly, a pattern I have is that I don’t post often as I’d like, then I post something along the lines of ‘whoopsie! I’m back and I’ll try to be more regular’.
The truth is that while I get random passers-by, I actually know less than a handful of readers of this blog. Intentionally. From the go, I wanted this to be a repository for my thoughts, so to speak, and it has remained mainly for me, as I want to. And yet, it is almost incredible that I can feel guilt about something that has no deadline and no one to whom I am responsible. It is most definitely not high on my list of things I feel guilty about but that it’s there is, I feel, a reflection of my nature.
And so, I’ve decided to approach blogging differently. Until now, I felt such guilt for not blogging about my big move as I wanted to, but to hell with it. Instead of it being a journal on my time abroad, it shall now a reflection after the fact. I shall no longer think about to what extent and to what detail I write, but simply post without guilt.
To myself, I’m no longer sorry ;)
