Mine's a diary. I try to be as honest as I can. This leads to some cringeworthy moments looking back, but what is written is genuinely what I felt at the time.
I've had mine for several years now, and both the frequency and quality of my blogging has varied considerably. Stretches of silence also have meaning, I guess. They usually mean there's too much going on to have time, or too little going on to write about (or both, as in my case)
Sometimes it's useful to sit down and structure your thoughts on a subject which preoccupies you, or just vent, or record interesting bits of trivia you see.
It is also a useful way of keeping rough tabs on what people are up to, and to a certain extent allow them to keep up with you. You are empowered to share what you are comfortable with. If something is bugging me for instance, I wouldn't put it up on Facebook, but I might make a friends-locked entry. Doesn't mean I need feedback, but just the though that maybe someone I have chosen to allow access to has seen it. Vent, in other words.
I get you. I, narcissist that I am, love going back and reading my old blog posts. It's interesting to see how what I remember from for instance 2005 differs from what I've written down. Both scary and nice to think that in 15 years I'll probably only remember what I've written...
