I write in the hope that nobody ever reads it. It's all sad and depressing stuff.
I could, as some have suggested, write but not publish it online. But... probably in some way it's the habit from older times when I wrote about programming. In any case I do delete most of the stuff without ever uploading it, and frequently delete a lot of the stuff I did upload.
I write because it helps me seeing it written down. I write because I don't speak much with anyone any more.
The things I write currently about, it's been a couple of years I guess. I do put it up on my blog, yes. Not all of it, and as I said I do delete some after a while. In general I do consider anything I write as temporary. Deleting things it's also part of the process or something.
All things are temporary. What I write at a certain moment may be good to do at that moment. And it's sometimes good to remember it afterwards. But sometimes it may also be good to just let it go and not cling to that memory or sentiment.
Some stuff stays. Some goes away. In my case, a lot of it goes away, but of course it doesn't have to be that way for anyone else. However I still think it's good to sometimes go back and clean up, deleting things that are no longer helpful to keep.
Thank you for describing your process. It's an interesting concept. As I've just started writing, and discovered it's therapeutic effects, it feels alien to delete the thing that has helped. But i can see how it's therapeutic.
If you feel comfortable, I'd love to read your blog. Or we go off on our merry way and hopefully run into each other again.
