Explanation: Why My Blog has been so Unpopular

I had a blog before this one but I quit making new posts for it because it had been really unpopular lately. You might be thinking right now that it's cheap for anybody to write for popularity. You're right-- it is.

Unfortunately, however, I wouldn't have attempted to write a blog in the first place hadn't I need any recognition; I would have just grabbed a pen and a journal but it wouldn't have been the same, would it? Furthermore, for the record, I like what I'm doing. I just have this feeling that I need to start fresh.

If you're here reading this post, chances are, you are a blogger as well. I guess you know how it feels like if everybody hates what you write, worse, everyone stops reading what you have to say. It's like talking to trees on your lucid intervals.

So what did I write exactly to earn my blog so much infamy? I wrote mostly about my solemn abhorrence for organized religion and what it does. Sometimes about unusual personal encounters with other people and our environment. I remember too that I had to (literally) fight off hags and zealots from going bat-crazy on my blog.

"...I had to write (for the most part) what I felt I needed to express rather than write what would have pleased other people."

It has been more than a freaking year since I wrote anything blog-worthy again in my opinion. Yes, I'll have to admit that I've lost touch with my creative side during the latter parts of my blogging history which unintentionally lead me to launch an attack on other people's ideals and values. But I think that I was just being true to myself and as a blogger, I knew that I had to write (for the most part) what I felt I needed to express rather than write what would have pleased other people.

If people, back then, thought I was being a prick, I'm just glad they're not having a conversation with me in real time. I'm afraid that my tendency to be overly expressive (to the point many will think it's rude) is a trait only a few will appreciate. I don't think that my blog has been a failure though. I have learned so much from writing for Shocking Truths (yes, I'm not ashamed of it) and without that experience I wouldn't be the same person I am today.

Thanks a lot to the few people- okay, very few people who supported my blog through their readership and comments. This time, on Whatever Bites Hurt, I'll do better what I do best- write without caring about what other people think. Anybody can either spit or swallow what I have to say (no pun intended).
