| BLOG THERAPY & LEGACY - by Oying Cayabyab-Yago | for lorelei's network |
People who know me wonder why I sit for long hours in front of my laptop glued to the open multiple windows. Some may think it is such a waste of time sitting here when I could be doing something else more productive.

But if they only look closer and think deeper and have a little foresight up their heads, they would probably do now what I am doing.
Normally, over the past years, I have scribbled my thoughts on paper, notebooks, journals and whatever came handy that I could write on. Those notes were read only by me and never shared to anyone. Those were unedited spur of the moment outburst of emotions and unmasked thoughts.
For many reasons unknown to many, there is something in what I am doing here that has stirred my spirit, animated my imagination and organized my thoughts. I have been blogging my thoughts and sharing them to my friends. Unlike before, my thoughts now are known to everyone. This way they get to know me better and what is really behind that solitude and faint smile…what has been brewing in my mind, the unfolding of whatever mystery that has shrouded the real me. I realized that expression and communication are vital for a healthier individual. The more you get to ventilate and express clearly your thoughts and share stories, the better you feel psychologically and people understand you better. And when that happens, it follows that you become a better individual in interacting with others. Furthermore, this exercise helps me in knowing myself better as I jot down and process my thoughts and feelings on matters.
There is also another good side to this. Time will come when I will be too old to be remembering in vivid details in sharing stories to my children and future grandchildren. When that time comes, they could open up and read my journals, dig into the archives of my blogs and eagerly get to know the old lady that loved to write and blog in her younger years.
wow. You are quite a writer. How long do you stay in front of the computer and have time to write all these? Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteWhile I do my sales online, I also open all windows, and whenever I have a lull time waiting for replies, I do my blogs. Multi-tasking. Thanks :-)
