first post

This is my first ever post on Blogger, but by no means is it my first ever blog post. I've tried them all- Livejournal, Tumblr, etc... But the major problem with all the other sites that I have tried is that I had readers. The more people who read my blog, the more self conscious and contrived my posts became, until I felt I had to move on.
So why not just keep a private journal? Because for me, journaling makes me feel like a lunatic- after all, I am just talking to myself. It makes me feel so alone to write in a diary.

So this is why I am now on Blogger. Because here, at least for now, it is possible that I can write my private thoughts for an imaginary audience of imaginary readers... which I suppose in the end is even odder than talking to myself, but something about it feels right to me.

I'm not imaginary! Don't feel self-conscious, though. Your blog is great the way it is. I will keep reading.

And thank you for your comment on mine.
