I think my blog is too personal. I shy away from the spotlight because here, I am naked. I display my vulnerability for everyone's pleasure.
Recently I've been entertaining the idea of profit. I started my blog for myself, as a therapy. I write because my thoughts get bottled up inside my brain and I go insane. But I haven't been earning anything lately and all I do is shop. I wish I can get a job but law school has been eating away my soul these days. The only part of me that manages to steal time is writing. So I thought, why shouldn't I earn from my blog?
First, I need Content. It can't just be my unfiltered thoughts all the time. I'd get sued for libel. But then if I follow a pattern, a format, or an outline, I'd be skewing away from the very essence of writing, which for me is all about one thing: therapy. If it becomes a business, I'd be allowing society to invade my brain. And I'm allergic to the society.
Second, I need Commitment. I truly believe one of the reasons why writing has surpassed time is because it doesn't crave attention. It doesn't demand anything from me. I go to it when I need to, not whenever I'm wanted to. Here I am my own boss. Nobody tells me what to post, and I'm nobody to please anyone.
Yeah, I don't think I need that Ad after all.
