Just like a lot of other fancy online things that have become just about everybody’s “must have”, I’m starting to wonder whether the time of the personal blog has passed. I know of many people who post to theirs only sporadically, or leave months between updates. That’s fine. I mean, there are many reasons why people choose to just stop writing altogether. It can be tiresome. It can be a bit of a chore just coming up with some sort of business to write. I know I’m guilty of sometimes putting up some really short ones just for the sake of posting. It can also be disheartening when you think that no one is out there.
I’m not irritated. Instead, I’m struck by a bit of sadness. It’s through some of my friends’ blogs that I’m able to keep up with what’s going on in their lives. I’m not too big on emailing people to say hello. I’m not big on picking up the phone either. By reading some blogs though, it’s like a signpost that says that the person is still alive. So, when the posts start dwindling, it leaves me wondering what’s going on. As time moves on, these people start moving further and further back in the mind. Eventually, I fear that they may disappear altogether. I’d rather have that not happen.
