Propósito

By D.T.L.F. @ INSEAD

I’ve lost all motivation to write. Actually, I’ve lost all motivation to do anything but pick up and move.

A month and change left on the calendar.  As they say in France, le sigh.

Here’s a recent G-Chat conversation in place of a well thought out post.

C: when i had my xanga,

i tried to be cryptic about it for obvious reasons

first for the people that knew me, they would offer their 2 cents

but after awhile it was just a downer to read/write

 

Me: I kind of feel like that about mine right now.

I can stand on my soapbox and preach all day about all the negative shit I see at/about school

But it’s not funny.

And if I’m not making people laugh, there’s really no point.

 

Which makes me question why I’m writing this in the first place.

I haven’t gotten really “personal,”

 

and since I’ve established it as an anonymous blog, I can’t, really.

So it’s not a journal.

Is it just to make people laugh?

Then I should charge fuckers.

C: Also i thought shit, whats the point when I can’t really be personal, afraid of what people will find out about me

I remember you telling me about that re. myspace

= you cant get personal

which is true

yours isn’t that bad

and yes, entertaining or uplifting would be cool

but then again, if its too up lifting then it’ll be like Doogie Howser’s journal

    ain’t we the readers reason enough? ;)

    DTLF Responds: That’s the thing though, Gabriel. I’m having a purpose crisis. Am I writing for the amusement of the peanut gallery and handful of anonymous viewers who have never left a comment and probably never will? Am I writing to get a rise out of people? Am I writing to get a laugh? Am I writing for the reasons I started this blog to begin with?

    Eh. Once school starts and I’m inundated with material, I’m sure this sentiment will change.

    Yeah- I’m sure a busy schedule is the best thing for you to change your mind and desperately want to write on your blog, again.

    Are you starting in Fony or S’pore ?


    DTLF Responds: Fonty. You?

    A purpose crisis… quel horreur! When the going gets tough… Write because you have something to say. Purpose is for wimps. And if you need a selfish reason to write, then remember that writing improves your writing, sharpens your thought process, and forces you to articulate the thoughts bouncing around in your noggin’, all of which makes you a better person… See, better living through blogging.
