To rant or not to rant...

Jun 16, 2008 20:39

I logged into LJ with the intention to rant about my woes and bore you all to death. But then I realised, that's exactly what I would be doing. Boring you. All those readers living in the abyss of cyberspace, care little about the aggravating day I had, nor do they feel much attachment to me. Add to that the fact that really, my life is not that bad. My mother keeps telling me I don't know how lucky I am. The TV keeps telling me there are kids starving in Africa. And I am sure someone will lose their brother, father or son out in Iraq whilst I type. My issues? Pffft. Who cares?

Originally, creating an LJ was my way of keeping in touch with my friends when I went off to university. Keep it updated, keep them updated. But I never got round to sending out the address? Why? Well, I have their phone numbers, email addresses, home addresses. I would see them at summer. Would speak to them on msn. Of course, I don't use any of those methods of communication. I have made little effort to keep in touch with them, and on the flip side of that, they make no effort at all to keep in touch with me. You don't care, and they don't care.

I am also not an egomaniac. I don't keep an LJ like I would a personal diary. I don't post all my dark private thoughts out in a public forum in an attempt to obtain sympathy. I don't use it to voice my political views or opinions, thinking that they might matter. Nope. Search through my LJ. Go on. Have a look. All you will find are a whole host of really shit fanfic, and a few messages to my friends.

So why bother with LJ? Heck, I don't know...
