Trying To Do Things The Right Way.

"If you are going to do something, do it right."

So I've been thinking and wondering for quite some time now about whether or not I should start up with blogging again. Previously I used to write a self development blog for the norwegian audience, and I generated quite a lot of traffic for such a small blog. I noticed after the months went by that I was starting to be more and more concerned about the traffic I generated and I would get really bummed out when the scores went down. I was finding myself in a state of constantly thinking about posting high value post that everybody would love and re-share with their friends that I totally lost track of why I was writing that blog in the first place!

I think that too many blog authors (and maybe online people in general) try and put on a face that they think their audience will like, rather than just writing whatever they have on their mind and not giving a fuck about whether or not it generates traffic. That's in my minds eye the equivalent to being phony, false, untrue, full of shit, name it what ever you'd like. And I noticed that I myself was starting to fall into that category! I didn't even stand for most of my posts anymore, and thats not really right now is it?

So why am I writing again?

Well, this is what I've been trying to figure out. To do or not to do, that is the question. After some careful consideration I found out that I had to create some new "rules of guidance" so I don't fall into that same track again. I figured out that if I don't share any posts myself and if I only write whatever is in my heart I don't care whether it becomes "popular" or not. I will continue to stay true to myself, and hopefully if someone wants to read my blog and likes it, than I know I didn't sell out and they like it for who I am, rather than who they want me to be.

"To Do Or Not To Do, There Is No Try."

So thats what Im doing. Pouring out my heart for myself, and if you happen to read this and you think its seems alright, than thats good. If not? Well fuck it, that's alright too! No pressure. So no more try, I'm only gonna do what feels right.
