On Deleting a Blog Post · 2:15pm Dec 24th, 2019
Today I did something that seems wrong, but necessary. I deleted my most recent blog post. Now I know that in theory at least blogs are supposed to me one's thoughts in real time, unvarnished and true. So why does one do such a thing?
Well, for any who have followed along, this marks the third time I have done this sort of thing. I have done it generally for purely selfish reasons, because the post wasn't read much or because it was a bit too blunt or too honest. The first reason is a silly one, blogs are not a measure of popularity per se. People see a title of a blog and decide for themselves if the subject sounds interesting. And as far as honesty goes, it's kind of a "if you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen" situation. Honest opinions aren't welcome sometimes, but ultimately if one can't be honest in what you write, you shouldn't be writing.
But anyway, the day dawns with sick parents, a Christmas gift for said parents getting screwed up, a certain housecat getting on people's bad side, and I still have to work. I hope all of you out there have a Merry Christmas.
