This is not exactly the first time that I've started off writing a post on my blog. As a matter of fact, this is the nth time I'm doing it and still not quite gathered the confidence that it won't be deleted before getting published.
I always wonder what people write in their blogs. I have read a few blogs, but they were very objective in nature. They were targeted to a crowd who sought specific information. I, on the other hand, consider myself to be a very less-informed individual, who may strive to know too much but is mostly very subjective in her approach (noted now as a scope for improvement).
I did consider reading other such loosely targeted blogs, with a perspective of writing one myself, however then decided against it. I realized that I did not want to start off, influenced by someone else's idea of a blog. I wanted the first one to (sort of) just pop out of me.
I thus define this first blog as an exercise to my mind, a practice to open up, to form pure, definitive thoughts all by itself. Thoughts, which should be solid enough to be put down in words. I realize that I have started taking 'the activity of thinking' for granted and exploiting it without making much fruitful use of it. I believe that I've time and again failed my potential to think clear and have now decided to methodically work on this aspect.
In a matter of time, I wish to train my mind to think thoroughly, even though I may not be writing it down. I guess that would be somewhere close to 'being thoughtful'. I don't want to think too much, but I want to be clear and precise. I'm pretty sure writing will assist me in training my mind to indulge in a healthy, meaningful thought process.
