What's the point of blogging if no one reads it?

I used to have people read my blog.

It wasn't many, really, but it was some.  You may see somewhere on this page how many people "follow" me, but I don't think any of them read here anymore.

Really, it doesn't help that I don't write as much as I used to.  Few people ever commented back in the day when I'd put something out weekly, but that didn't bother me as much as the things in the world around me and not around me that made me kind of become quiet.

I tried to do theme posts, tried to do a series, and tried to just write consistently.  I failed at the lot of that, but it didn't matter.

Sometimes it's better just to write whenever you feel like it and whenever the words come to your mind and your heart and your fingertips.

It's better to get words out of your head than keep them swirling within.  So here we go, friends (if you read or if you don't). 

I'm back to blogging - you know, for the 15th time? - and likely it will be at another blogging place with another address and another web platform altogether.  But for now, here I am, still at blogger and still at this, my 4th address, and still keeping my dignity (what's left) in check.

To the lonely websurfer out there who happens upon my blog by some random reason, I just wanted to quickly say hello!  And if you're a long-time reader and still keep up whenever I get to writing, thank you!

That's all for now.  More coherence later.  👍
