My prior blog post titled, "Personification of 'Steve'" really showed me exactly why everyone, besides myself, needs to blog. Most people who have already caught up to the current year and have started blogging can be a witness to the effect blogging has on the psyche, heart, and soul. Blogging, in my opinion, is a way to vent and let out your frustration, inner feelings, news, or just to pass the time by. My prior blog that I mentioned earlier was a prime example of how blogging is a peaceful way to let loose and to let what cannot be said in the presence of others be written down. Anyone who knows me, knows that I love to write whenever I have time to do it. But that's another totally different subject. Again, my blog post titled, "Personification of 'Steve'" was my best post but also considered my worst.
It was my best because I used what i love to do and mixed it with exactly what a blog is used for, which is to speak one's mind. That blog post was raw, uncut, uncensored, and just plain out real. I let my anger out into words, each single letter was my way of fighting. I threw fists with each completed sentence and topped it off with kicks and jabs with each period and double space. But like most fights, there are usually some casualties and in this instance, it was my reasons for writing. This leads to exactly why my prior blog was my worst.
My prior blog post was my worst because I turned something I loved into a mockery of someone. Although blogs can be a peaceful way to vent without getting too physical, some blog's content can be as effective as fighting which, in my opinion, is the same as throwing the first punch. Maybe I was too raw, too uncut, too uncensored or just plain out too real? Or maybe I was angry and the only way I could get my anger out was to write. What I wrote, I wrote out of anger and I could have been a bit rash. I am not apologizing in no way because these feelings came from somewhere and they somehow made it on paper. My prior blog was my best, yet my worst because I played the hero for those scared to speak their true feelings, but I hurt somebody out of revenge.
Honestly, I felt justified for my prior blog post but the more I read it, the more ashamed I became. Shame?! Yes, shame that I used what I loved doing to hurt people. The main reason I got into writing is kind of petty but admirable at the same time. Clark Kent(or Superman) was a reporter/hero who wrote articles and saved lives. I view myself as a protege to his philosophies except I do not have super strength, laser eyes, or faster than a speeding bullet. But what I do have is super strong morals, laser typing skills, and I am faster than a speeding bullet when someone is in need. This really is not a retraction but its my reaction to my actions that made me feel a little bit less Super. But a part of becoming Super is realizing that you aren't Super at all. In fact, becoming Super starts off when you realize that you are human and not mistake free.....Especially when you blog!
