Mindspeaker Returns

I used to allow people to comment on my blogs. I even had those tagboards. So I’ll get comments from lots and lots of people about what I’ve written…

But the reason why I blog is not because I want to get comments from people. No offence to my readers (if there’s any out there haha), but I’m not interested in your comments. If you have a comment, go write about it in your blog.

Most of the times, there’ll be people who write in useful comments. But there’ll always be someone out there who gets a thrill out of flaming others. They’d stalk your blog. Pick on your entries. Criticize your thoughts. Make fun of you. Insult you. All under the warmth and safety of anonymity.

If you don’t like me…just say it to me to my face. Writing comments on my blog won’t change things. I won’t know who you are. If I did something wrong to you and you’re so angry with me that you can’t sleep at night, tell me who you are. I’ll try to work things out. I promise. But if you’re not going to tell me who you are…then there’s nothing I can do.

I don’t pine for comments. Some people do. Not me. I used to write for the crowd in the past. But that’s not why I started blogging in the first place. That’s why I decided to stop blogging for awhile. 

The truth is…these are my thoughts. I didn’t write them down to please others. I wrote them down because this is how I feel. There’d be some anger, some happiness and sometimes, there’d be nonsense. I’m not out to impress anyone with my knowledge, creativity or wittiness. If you happen to read them and enjoy my entries…then I’m happy to know that. If you don’t like my thoughts, then just go to other blogs. There’s so many blogs out there. I’m sure there’s going to be others that you’d like.

I’m an introvert. I keep my thoughts to myself. But I still need an outlet for my thoughts. I need some place to vent my anger and frustrations. I also want a place to store my memories. I’d like to look back at this blog one day and laugh and cry at the good and bad times in my life. I’d like to reflect back on the things that were important back then.

So what if I look back and realise that my entries are not the award winning kind? Who cares? I just want a place to call my own. I take this blog as an extension of my thoughts. When you think or talk to yourself…you do not have people commenting right?  

So that’s why there’s no comment box.
