TODAY'S PICK: IF BLOGGING WAS THERAPY...

LINK: TODAY'S PICK

Today's pick comes from agaytekeeperiam .

The title is a long one called IF BLOGGING WAS THERAPY WHY'D WE TURN IT INTO CONTENT? 

This one definitely caught my attention.  I am forever talking about how blogging is therapy because it actually is.

The author goes on to mention how he missed the good old days when blogging was about sharing your life without the branding, content creation, and monetizing. 

Because I was so inclined to share, and for the sake of time, I will copy my comment.

I felt every word! Yes I understand exactly what you are saying. And yes Blogging is very much therapeutic to me. But I would be lying if I said there's not any performance to it as well. As an artist, It is important for me to present my blog in a way that is creative . Hell even when I have my video clips and pictures there is some form of being "on" for the camera. As far as the algorithm, Fuck the algorithm ! That is the decline of all mental health. I know. I been there before. 

Now I know how to express myself and give a piece of who I am without losing myself in the numbers or pitching a sale of my content. There are still some of us out there! This blog entry is LOOOOONG overdue. I'm glad you said that part out loud for the blogosphere. And keep doing what you are doing.

I believe there is room for a little bit of both. sharing about who you are, the daily livings and the hot content, (I hate that word!) But most of all being true to who you are.
