Therapeutic Blogging

When I first started my blog about four years ago, I did because I loved writing (and still do) and wanted a place to write whatever I wanted without being censored. It also allowed me to pass the time and make myself think, make my brain work, instead of just being numb from boredom. I also liked it because it was fairly unknown to the world and most people did not have one. (I am weird like that; I like having new, interesting things most people do not have or know about yet.) It became my hobby. I wrote whatever I wanted, whatever came to mind. It was great; I loved it.

In the last year to year and a half though, my blog has been more than just a blog. I no longer write random musings, thoughts, etc. I write as an outlet. It allows me to sort through my thoughts, get them down, organize them, and then go back later to look it over and think about it some more. It allows me to work through whatever it is that needs to be, whatever it is that is on my mind or bothering me. In a way, it is like therapy. And the best part about it: it's free.
