I don't know.
To be frank, I really haven't given any thoughts about why I started blogging. If you think I am good at expressing myself with words, no I am not. I have extremely limited vocabulary, mediocre (or worse than that) descriptive skills and passable grammar. But still, I enjoy blogging.
Not until recently that I finally have a revelation by accident as to why I blog. I am taking the two worst subjects any first year engineering student can do in my first year, both of which requires me to do reflections/journals, and they are graded! Rambling and ranting don't get you anywhere, what they are looking for is critical thinking. We even had a class on that!
Often, when we learn lessons from experience, we keep them in mind for a while, satisfied with the little that we have gained. Sadly, we do not realize that it is when we really sit down, reflect on the experience, and put everything in words that we learn a lot more. And when I say A LOT, I mean it.
Another obvious benefit of putting reflections into words is that when you re-read what you have written in the past, it can be a reminder as to how much you have grown, and also a check on your current status, whether you have continued further, stayed stagnant or fallen behind.
I shall not be lazy to put my thoughts into words again.
