初出茅庐#
In 2019, blogs were gradually declining, but I resolutely entered this ocean and established my own "island". But a island must have a foundation, right? So I rented a BWH VPS and bought a domain nameat that time, I didn't even know what a domain name was for, I just knew it could be accessed, and chose the most popular WP as the backend, starting a career as a blogger.
At that time, I felt so cool as a newcomer. I could already publish articles online while my peers were still in the gaming worldclassic Dunning-Kruger effect
So, back then, I wrote a lot of low-quality articles like those low-quality websites, without any substance. Now, looking back, it's really embarrassingimagine someone loudly reading your middle school QQ space
Admiring the Experts#
But newcomers can't stay that way forever. After getting to know many expert bloggers, I realized how naive I was. There are so many experts who have been writing blogs for decades, including the lovely DIYgod~
Sensitivity#
In the middle of 2020, some things in life put me in a low point, and I deleted all my old articles. This also led to my constant feelings of inferiority until now, being very sensitive to others' opinions, and always trying to conform to others and suppress myself.
At the end of 2021, I decided to register a new identity and start writing blogs againnow it seems more like low-quality tutorials. But since then, I started worrying about whether my articles would be ridiculed, whether my expression was professional enough, and whether my ideas were too childish. These negative emotions made me lose my original intention of writing blogs.
However, when I calmed down and reflected, I realized that I made a mistake, which was treating blogging as a competition rather than a way of sharing and communicating. I started seeking recognition from others instead of enjoying the pleasure of writing.
Lost#
Constantly changing blog themes, installing various plugins, and optimizing the loading speed of the blog.
From WordPress to Gridea, and then to Hexo-Fluid, Hexo-Cards, constantly changing blog themes, trying to find the most beautiful, attractive, and high-quality themes, while neglecting the quality and value of the blog content.
This means that I got lost in the pursuit of the external appearance of the blog and forgot the original intention and meaning of the blog.
Original Intention#
Returning to the original intention, I want to re-understand the meaning of writing blogs.
Writing blogs is not about showing how professional and cool I amor how bad I am, but about sharing my experiences and thoughts, and establishing an interactive and communicative relationship with readers. Everyone has their own unique perspective and life experiences, and each blog has its own value. We should not compare ourselves with others, but appreciate and respect everyone's writing style and way of expression.
If we treat blogging as a competition, we will lose the original intention and joy of writing. On the contrary, if we treat blogging as a way of sharing and communicating, we can freely express our thoughts, connect with more people, and gain more growth and inspiration.
Finally#
So, I decided to return to the original intention, learn to enjoy the process of writing blogs, share with heart, communicate with heart, feel with heart, and grow with heart.
I think I should proudly say to all readers, "Thank you for reading!"
