Four years ago, I started this blog with the hope that writing about my issues might finally provide the needed energy and focus to better myself. And during that time, I’ve loosely followed some other people’s blogs and vlogs who were trying to accomplish something similar.
So by now, the obvious question: is it helping?
The answer to that is not a good one. Nor for myself or any of the others that I’ve read about.
The main reason appears to be this: we just continue rehashing all the details and possible solutions for those issues (instead of actually DOING much about it).
And I guess that’s not really too surprising, since the atmosphere for writing and solitary vlogging lends itself to unhealthy, cooped-up isolation. Even with those who have a huge following and get all kinds of support in their comments, it just doesn’t matter much. Its main useful function appears to be solely as a possibly needed outlet to dump your troubles.
Why? Because reading or writing any amount of words doesn’t provide the necessary energy and focus that moving around, getting out there, and in-person camaraderie does.
Does this mean that I’ll stop making entries? I’m not sure. But it does mean that I’ve pretty much shut the door on the thought of them ever helping me.
