Why blog?

I was talking to a friend of mine, Alise, the other day about blogging. She regularly blogs. I want to regularly blog. So, I asked her...why do people blog? I have this desire to blog, but I don't really understand it. Her answer was because people are conceited. Am I? I really didn't think I was...but maybe?

I am a people pleaser. I also have a fear of rejection and failure. Maybe this is why my blog never lasts? I am also kinda pessimistic. This results in wanting to do lots of stuff, but never really going through with it. I set myself up for failure, really.

My thoughts on blogging is that I don't think I am very interesting...do I really want to prove this in writing?? Do I want to show everyone else that may stumble upon my blog that I have nothing interesting to say? As I reread this...I am sorely tempted to ditch it. I am such an odd person...wait...is that interesting? :-)

The other reason that I thought that a blog would be a good idea is...well, I covered that in an earlier blog. Seems that every summer this idea rears it's head. I don't understand that either. I have talked to Rich about this answer and his answer is simply...make it work this time. Yeah, I wish my brain worked so simply.
