I am supposed to keep this blog post as simple as it can be because someone claims I am overtly "Cheem" and rant about abstract topics that don't strike a chord with her. In any case, this is dedicated to you, for you to laugh at and ridicule my effort at not trying to write well.

I may have agreed to write simply, but the topic had been undecided until a few hours ago. If it wasn't inspiration, it probably just is my conscience telling me to get back at you with a suitable topic--ironic for that matter. Because in using my rudimentary grasp of English, I will explain and convince you why my blog is always filled with fluffy topics that don't really make sense in this very practical world.

Firstly, it is my humble opinion that blogs were never created to simply sketch a day's work into words. That falls under the job scope of an author and the likes. Truth is, no one wants to know what happened to you today (save your family, your spouse, your good friend but hey, not even 20% of your blog readers are them). Perhaps it may be a simple form of leisure for you, to just sit back and know how the rest of us ticks. For me, I'm satisfied knowing how my clockwork operates. And if you really wanted to know the simple things in my life, you just have to ask.

Secondly, I write for myself. This is a halfhearted statement because deep down inside, there's a part of me that screams for attention. A little popularity and recognition of my posts wouldn't hurt. If I wanted this part of me to be private, all my writings would have been shoved into a diary. So I cannot deny that I write wholly for myself but I will explain more later. What I mean is that I would rather have fewer readers and blog about whatever and whenever inspiration comes knocking at my door than an abundance of viewers but all of whom flock to worship me for superficial blog posts and in which I suffer to feed their demands. This isn't a demand and supply economic market. This is a simple story of a boy who ponders over the greater things in life by writing. And what better way to do so? I write what I want because this is MY blog and with that sense of ownership, I  don't need to write things that would attract people. Even right now, I know I have one or two of those ardent fans who occasionally checks this blog and for that, I am grateful.

And I always wanted to have one of those blogs which can shine a different light onto others' lives. I wish to do more than personal reflection; why not kill two birds with a single post by changing the perspective of another. I may not actually be living up to such sky high standards of offering a fresh insight to life but at least I'm trying. I always longed cough up a daily quote or something truly inspirational to others.

Regardless, this blog is going to stay that way.

I know I may have drifted from the purpose of this blog--to keep it simple--but I have done what I could to make it as simple as it can be.

Fact is, life is never simple, no matter how hard we choose to believe so.
