Ryu's Blog

This is probably not the best way to start a blog, but it is how I feel when I face the blank blog. I used to blog. Back then words seem to come to me pretty easily and I just have to write down what I feel or think. Now it seems harder.

It is hard to start something new. When I start a new activity that I want to maintain, be it learning how to draw, play music, or blog, I tend to have some unrealistic ideals in mind. I want to blog in a way that helps achieve the purposes I want and makes me look good.

As I write this post, writing seems to become easier. Of course easier does not mean better. It could just mean I lower my standard. It is hard to say whether a blank page is better or a page filled with crap. Is bad writing worse than no writing? I guess it depends on what I want to achieve.

One problem is I haven’t had a good idea of what I want to write about. Is it for myself (as in the “About” page), or to impress someone else (whether they be friends, friends’ friends, or unknown causal browsers) or to make some people happier? What do I want to signal here?

To sum up this incoherent post, blogging is hard because I don’t know what I want to achieve, except that I want this blog to be good,  to reflect well on me, to learn something and make my life better in some way.
