Do I keep writing or not?

For a good while, I was up to date on blogging, excited to post my latest adventure, frustration or random thought. But lately, the thrill to post is not so exciting anymore, well for me.

I'm not sure if I posted this, but a month or two while traveling the South Pacific, I watched Julie & Julia for the in-flight movie. It's based on a book with the same title. It's about a married woman Julie who challenges herself to cook one of Julia Child's recipe, each day for a year - or something like that. Her husband (or maybe it was a boyfriend, I can't remember) suggests she starts a blog.

So she starts this blog documenting her every day life and the recipe she attempts to make. There were several clips in the movie I could totally relate to. For example, as she writes her blog, she wonders if there is anyone even out there reading it. She also shares an experience where she calls in to work saying she is sick, when really she wasn't and to her surprise, her boss was a follower on her blog. She also shares an experience about your significant other and then they get into an argument and he asks her if she's going to write about it in her blog. I thought it was quite funny - why? Maybe because I could relate.

What is a blog and what is the purpose of a blog? Some say it's basically a show and tell of what's going on in your life. Others use it as a way vent. Some even say it's therapeutic. For me - I'm not sure why I blog. Something to do I guess? Or maybe it's because I use to journal when I was younger, but now with my busy hectic schedule, it's much easier to just type then pull out the pen and paper. And maybe, just maybe, one day I'll go back and read my blogs.

Granted, I hope no one reads my blog thinking I live this oh so perfect life - because truth be, it's far from it and I am not one to say it is. But like every individual out there, you just do the best you can and live.

That brings me to the title of this blog - do I keep writing or not? We'll see.
