There are so many avenues of expressing one's emotion. So many roads to take, so many turns to make, and so many detours to consider. It is in man's discretion on how his expressions will take flight. There are many methods to consider, it just depends on man's preference. He may either write his ideas on a book or a journal, compose editorials in a newspaper, video himself, record and capture important moments that are best seen on camera, or maybe declaim inside thoughts through public speaking. Depending on man's personality, through expression of personal feelings, ideas start to form and be cultivated into words that are either substantial or just plain nonsense. It is on the part of the receiving end on how to interpret such creativity that an expressing person tries to arrive at.
Blogging has been a vital avenue for the expression of my thoughts, ideas, and feelings. From 2nd year College up until this present time, all of the fragments of my mind's creation have been expressed through the form of this online journal. For one, I try my best not to keep my thoughts private. Though I have the liberty to keep it privy from the sight of others, I keep it in mind that though I may be more of an introverted person (though my personality speaks otherwise), the real thought of a knowledgeable person, I believe, is best stored in forms that everybody can see. Why keep your thoughts to yourself? This is one question that has been a guiding principle of mine whenever I make blogs. Making a blog is like a wide, 5-lane avenue of expression: there is a lot of room for each and every car of ideas and trains of thought to pass through. It is a long, unwinding road that has a beginning, but has no end. Until the mind keeps running, the blogs keep on going. Making such blogs for me are the pathways of conveying ideas that are usually not heard from me by my friends and haters alike. Blogging is the Rosetta Stone that has been the key to unlock the hieroglyphics of my mind. Blogging has been God's answer to my problems of introversion.
I couldn't keep track on how many blogs I have made and posted. I have 2 Multiply pages that have been the foundations of my ideas. Back then, when Friendster was still the King of Social Networking, I used to post blogs there, and from there I started to build a stepping stone as to where my ideas will now be etched. As Friendster was going on the downside, I moved my first few blogs there to my 1st Multiply account. From there, all my thoughts, ideas, feelings, and opinions have been broadcasted through there. From college life to the usual feelings of a boy falling in love, posting blogs in Multiply has been the place where I keep track of all the memories of my past. Posting there kept on going until I made it to Med school, where eventually I moved blogging into Blogger.com in the hopes that the vast majority can see more of what is being expressed from the clutter of the mind.
The methods of my blogging have been broad. Different styles have been applied during the long course of time. I have delivered opinions of current issues, critiqued people, admonished maligned ideas, lauded inspiring kick-ass individuals and groups, and made poetry from imagination. Majority of the thoughts that were expressed through blogging have been the products of what I am thinking and wishing to express. I have to admit, there were blogs that had caused a stir for some, and have caused me to earn my own set of haters because they couldn't accept what my ideas speak of them. Others have found my blogs (not raising my own chair, just basing it on comments) interesting to read because of things that they have never heard from me. Blogging is an avenue that speaks of what a person truly is behind the smiles and actions. This method has shown the reader who I really am, what I really think of, and how I really fare in a world that is filled with so many things that are either worth believing or just too good to believe.
Taking this road of communication and creativity entails good writing skills and vocabulary knowledge. I may neither be a good writer nor a vocabulary guru, but through blogs, these characteristics are slowly molded and formed into baselines that are the starting points for good communication skills. One may have a hard time talking to others through the verbal route. But through making blogs, one is already being unconsciously practiced in the art of communicating. Through this method, one can review how he/she has fared in making expressions of thought, and may make revisions or corrections and use these as benchmarks for good communication skills. This has been proven well based on how other people see it. Writers have been great communicators because they use the avenue of writing to express their thoughts, and whenever they speak in public conventions or in press conferences or in book fairs, they are heard by people to be very intelligible and well-versed with the art of the language. Through writing, as also seen in blogging, fine skills such at the use of wit and humor are trained and chiseled until these unique skills become sharp enough to pierce right through anything, even the most insensitive of readers.
There are really so many ways of expressing one's thoughts and ideas. You, the reader, have all the cards and all the tricks necessary to express such great ideas, as well. It is how one uses and plays these cards will he/she be able to make the most creative of expressions. Through the style of blogging, one can use the power of the internet to grab hold of the thoughts of others and express one's ideas and share these with them. Through this will man gain his own set of haters and lovers. It just depends on the writing style on how a writer will gain the power to attract, move, and inspire the reader.
Be the creative person that you can be. Unleash that hidden potential. The world is already aching to know the other side of you.
Use blogging as a Rosetta Stone: a key that can unlock the myriad of wonders of your subconscious and unconscious.
