The title says it all.
Yes, you’re right. I did the entry on April 1st ‘cos I was intending to make it an April Fool’s joke. But, I also wanted to stop blogging. So I posted the entry up on that faithful day and I was telling myself, if I ever regret the decision, I will just call it off as a prank.
In case you didn’t know, the Wingdings in the pic says, “Happy April Fool’s!”

However, I meant what I said in the entry. I hate it how people associate blogging with fame. All I ever wanted was to record my life. And it really feels great to read your own past entries if you have been blogging for awhile. You look at how much you’ve grown over time and how different you are since then. For all you’ve known, you might already be laughing at how your dressing was so fugly and you used to think that it is nice.
The thing is, I couldn’t handle the amount of blog readers – NOT that I have alot. It’s just that I have to be very self-conscious and it becomes a chore. I take hours to finish a blog entry that others may just finish reading it in 5 minutes. And also, my command of language sucks, so I need to proof read a few times before I publish the entry.
It is like working isn’t it? On many occasions, it was just too taxing for me.
But I know I can never stop blogging. The fire is still burning. Heh. So I wanted to start a new blog, somewhere low profile so I wouldn’t have worry about the problems I’m facing now.
I talked to someone about it, and he said something like, “What’s your intention of blogging? Something FOR YOURSELF to keep, right? Then, you shouldn’t worry how other people look at your blog. Just do it how you would when you first started out.”
To which I couldn’t agree more.
So yeah. Take that as an April Fool’s joke, or, call me a self-slapping idiot. I’m back on track.
