Over the years, I have attempted to create and maintain a blog several times. I have made and remade blogs but have never been consistent with them. I tried to think of all the reasons why I am unable to keep at something that I really enjoy doing. Part of the reason has been the sheer volume of blogs out there that are more popular, better designed, and well-maintained. Being a new blogger in such a sphere can be a little daunting. There is definitely a good amount of pressure.

This, in turn, made me re-think the reasons for wanting to blog in the first place. Was I really after popularity? No. I wanted a blog where I could document certain thoughts and events in my life. I wanted a blog where I could just be myself. I wanted a blog which was accessible to friends and family to read and know what I have been doing, thinking, and writing. I am not after popularity on the social media which is why I have not created any social accounts for this blog. While I respect people who blog full-time and maintain their social counts, that is just not the aim I am after.

Another reason for faltering in the blogging process has been the need for perfection. I believe that it's important to create quality content. There are hundreds of people posting rubbish on the internet and there is no need for more. While I still want to create good content on this blog, I have decided to let myself be a little imperfect and just write. The fear of being judged is a connected problem that persists. When you attach your name and face to an enterprise, people look at you through its lens. That's why this blog does not have a face yet. Maybe it will in the future, maybe not. Till then, I'll let the content speak.
