The Blogger's Addiction

I believe all bloggers go through a cycle. First it starts off with "I'm going to write about my daily life." Then, as more people start reading your blog, it progresses to "I want to write about everything and have everyone love it!" After a while, especially when work and relationships become a higher priority, the number of entries starts dying out.

It isn't that I don't want to write, but that I just can't bring myself to do it regularly, especially after a long and tiring day. Of course, I might be the only one feeling this, but this is my blog: you are in my universe!

However, blogging is an addiction, and after the entries drop, I feel an emptiness when I go to my own blog, even though I know very well what I had written. Then I go back to the same day last year, and the year before, and realize how valuable it is that I had written nearly every day. Even when my topics were unrelated to what was going on during my life at the moment, I can vividly recall that day and what I was feeling.

It's like the cold virus. Once you have it, you will always have it.
