I wonder - how do people write their blog posts.

Do they just sit in front of a blaring screen, eyes leaden with exhaustion as their trembling fingers jab at the keys as they complain and whine about how their life has been ruined. Or perhaps their hands fly across they keyboard as they squeal in delight over how awesome their day had been.
Some do not even bother - they just post the occasional entry about how the weather has been lately.
Fewer snap open their laptops after experiencing pure moments of epiphany, their brows furrowed into dark frowns as they bite their lip and type bit by bitty sentence.

There are so many ways as to how to post a blog entry and what to put in it - that it leads us to think: Why do we even bother in the first place?

Some do it for the sake of keeping a tagboard alive. Others don't even think about why they're doing it, they just pop out the first sentences that emerge from their brains.

So why do I do this? Perhaps you can call me one of the doubtful few, those who do not exactly know why they waste time posting on blogs and still continue doing so.

But I do not do it for the sake of having a blog, for the occasional epiphanies and revelations that dawn upon me.
And that's why I write, about things like these. Things people don't believe in even mentioning on their multi-coloured skins, splashed with a spectrum of garish neon paints. Things whose existence people often forget about, things that actually matter to those who looked.

So, tell me. Why do you write?
