The Benefits of Writing.

Ok so, I haven't written paragraphs in a timed setting for a long time. And when I say long time, I mean years. I stayed away from it like a cat avoids water. Who, by the way, if not for anxiety, are amazing swimmers. That being said, just recently, I had to partake in a timed writing task. And, let me tell you, I didn't do to bad! I think I owe it to writing on this blog. Perhaps it helps maintain a cohesion between thoughts and their expression. This attribution is not a groundbreaking revelation, however, it does propel me to continue scribing my thoughts... Regardless of the presence of an (albeit virtual) audience, or not. =p
However, I still do wonder about the long term effects that blogs have had on the modern generation. I mean, before, only esteemed people with a strong grasp of their language published opinion papers and such. And most people write their thoughts in a diary. Private. An outlet of emotions instead of repression. However this new privilege to express one's thoughts to the world, and maintain a certain level of anonymity, what effect does it have on the populace? Is it partially responsible for the lack of restrain, dignity, and privacy that so many lack today?

Anyway, I'm beat. So I'll regretfully sign off with a new found appreciation for blogs. As well as something to think about... Haha
