A blank page, whether it be a notebook, canvas or even an HTML window, is both wonderous and intimidating. Set before you is a medium of limitless potential to tap into the most universal fears and yearnings of humanity. But there remains the everpresent shadow of doubt in your mind. What of all those that have come before you and have expressed the same thoughts and feelings with a greater depth of soul than you could ever hope to achieve? It would seem best to avoid promulgating a tepid ideology and instead use what wits you have about you to appreciate the works of those greater than yourself. Or is there an intrinsic good to creation in and of itself that would necessitate an attempt at the documentation of your own spirituality regardless of how it may pale in comparison to others? I wish there were somewhere I could look up the answer so that I can decide just how smug I should act around other people.
I had a lot more to say, but I got distracted by the prospect of videogames. Hey, however you get your fix to get through the day, I suppose. It used to be in college that writing in this livejournal gave me that little boost. For some reason that I still can't figure out, my journal was quite popular. I'd get praise from people I didn't even know on what an enjoyable read my journal was. Now, it remains mostly unread. I feel like a professor in an auditorium long emptied of students, half-heartedly giving a lecture that no one will hear and I know doesn't matter.
Ah, well.
