Isn't it ironic how pathetic blogging really is?

You know, I fought the flow of the stream for a long time and could not convince myself to actually invest effort in blogging. I think that as a general rule, what we all post is mostly sycophantic drivel intended to make ourselves feel better. The irony is, whether anyone agrees with our posts or reads them, it actually does make us feel better. Why is that? Probably the cathartic release associated with just getting something off your chest.

I went through a bad bout of depression recently. I felt like I had no outlet, like I had nowhere to just speak my mind. Somewhere along the way, I found a couple of friends that would let me bend their ear, and then I started blogging. Between the two, I am a much better adjusted person, and able to deal with more of the world around me than I was, say, a few months ago.

What am I saying? I guess, bring on the drivel. Get it all off your chest and out in the open. You will feel so much better, and feel like you can face the day with a little more stable emotional state. Gotta love it, now I'm off to bed.
