Anyone keep a personal online blog?

Does anybody keep an online blog?

It feels like a hark back 20 years or so to the days of Myspace, and very likely quite old fashioned now, but I've just started my own blog.

I am currently going through some significant life changes at the moment that have been proving significantly challenging and so I thought about writing a diary in order to keep track of my thoughts so that I could look back on them some day and see that my life was getting better. Instead I've decided to write a blog. I have no intention of publicising it to my friends or family, its more for my own piece of mind than anything else, but I'm finding it such a cathartic experience to log my thoughts and feelings all in a nice neat place.

It actually feels life affirming for me and I love writing in it, it keeps my mind occupied and each post feels like a good achievement, particularly if I am pleased with my writing style that particular day.

I don't want feedback from others, its just a nice format for updating and I can read it online from my phone in a nice format wherever I want it. Its horses for courses really, me personally, I am not going to publicise it, its just an exercise for myself. It does what I want it to.

I've got a spot on the internet where I document major stuff every few months, had it for 10 years now. I still look back on it now and then to reflect how far I've come and how fat and bald I've gotten. Definitely a good thing to have, fair play to you for doing it.

Amen. This is exactly why I'm doing it. Some posts can be a bit of a diary, a journal of the previous few days events. Then others can just be a couple of paragraphs on a particular subject. I like to toss ideas around, debate problems in writing with myself. I find it such a wholesome experience.
