In writing, when you start knowing and learning more, rereading your past pieces makes you feel like you are no more than a mediocre. You suddenly want to scrap them off and ask yourself why you have kept such poorly-written shits.
This is how I feel about this blog for the past weeks. I have long been thinking of posting an entry once again but scanning through my previous posts, I hear myself say, ‘I could have written this better.’, and, ‘I should have used this word than that one.’, and, ‘I can’t believe my mind had smoked out such idiotic and shallow thoughts’. Once again, I considered discarding this blog and start a bare and fresh one.
Good thing, I changed my mind. I am keeping this blog, not just to save myself from shame, though shame is such a heavy word. It’s also nice seeing me improve my writing, and even my thinking, overtime. Plus, I believe that learning how to write is never-ending. So instead of casting off old blogs and putting together new ones every now and then, I will just maintain this and laugh at myself every time I figure out how crappy my writings were.
