Fleeing thoughts


It had been a while I was considering to start a weblog but lack of time and being so fussy about what I'm gonna write and how often I'm gonna write, held me up. Then I thought, what if I don't write? What if I forget the things I wanted to put down and never did? Or if I did, it was just a scribble which sometimes found its way to the recycle bin or if it was lucky I read them after a while.
I was lost in my thoughts the other day trying to recollect what I thought about an idea back in five years ago. I was taken aback realizing how different it was from what I think of it now. I was brooding over it since I didn't know how it evolved. I told myself, I have to take notes.
While I was surfing some weblogs on the net, I came across a weblog by Bong Tara. There I read in the beginning of the page:
"I have three big fears. One, is starting a weblog while I know I won't have time to write. Second, not starting a weblog, not writing, and therefore, forgetting how to write. Third, starting a weblog, starting to write, and not being able to stop."

I smiled when I read these lines cuz I shared two of her fears, I was still not worried about not being able to stop!

I took my time skimming through her 8 blogs and I told myself, I was not alone. So I decided and here I am!
