I thought blogging would give me back my self-respect and drastic amounts of time, but it didn’t. You know why? Blogging is a lifestyle, a way of thinking about the world. Even if i don’t blog per se, I’m blogging in my mind. My conversations with others become blog-like, and I feel the need to format more of my life to reflect a blog than format my blog to reflect life. Blogging really isn’t the avoidable evil that I thought it was.
