Why do I blog? To advise? Am I so good at managing life that I can advise someone else? I tried blogging early, didn’t succeed. Then why now? What do I want to say with my blog? What’s the intention? To gain fame? To earn? A hobby? Or is it just for the heck of it? Why should someone see my blog? What do I offer others which is already not being said by the millions of blogs/websites & gurus out there? Didn’t Shakespeare himself say, there are no original stories? Then why bother? Just to add my two cents? I ask myself these questions, & ’have no answers to any of them.
Why?
It’s my expression.
Add to that, a small hope, that someone, somewhere might find some thing here, that could make a difference to him. Give him courage to go on with his thing.
Footprints, that perhaps another,
sailing o’er life’s solemn main,
a forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
seeing, shall take heart again.
I take refuge in Longfellow’s words, and ‘hope to be a roadside flower to a bystander who may accidentally set his eyes upon, and find joy in its presence.
