"Self, what should I write about?"
"Oh, I don't know, Self. Perhaps your latest struggles with being a wife and mother?"
"Well, I don't know, Self. I think I've exhausted that topic and no one wants to read about all of my problems. Everyone has their own problems and perhaps the world-wide-web is not the place to broadcast my issues with life."
"But Self! You could help someone with your vast amount of life knowledge and experience! Think about all you've done! It could help someone!...???"
"I don't know, Self. I don't think I've done enough to be useful to anyone. So maybe I'll just post some pictures of my really cute baby. That won't get old after picture #5 katrillion, all with the sub-title: I love my baby! Isn't she the cutest??!"
Seriously though, what is the point of blogging? Why did I start this thing? I have no good answer. I have no skills that I can show-case on this blog. My artwork isn't good enough for that yet. My family life basically sucks, so I don't want to write about that, and my kid is the cutest baby in the world and I shouldn't want to rub that in everyone's faces all the time.
I can offer this one ray of sunshine to the world for those who have not yet discovered it:

Well I do love to read your blog post and see and hear about cute stories of your daughter as well. Keep on blogging. Sometimes i feel no one reads mine either but remember that i don't do journal writing like i should so this is a good way for me to keep track of everything. I can print out my blog book someday so it'll be nice to have everything i was thinking of and going through. Hope you're doing well. Derek and I were just talking about you and your family the other day.
