The Ending

To make a blog, it’s something kind of personal. People most of the time don’t do them because of this silly notion that having a blog is something of a luxury, well that's what I thought at the time. To understand better what I meant, I’ll tell you about my experience with the blog I had to create for my english lit class in my second year of my bachelors degree:

It all started back in September if my memory serves me right. I was sitting in the same spot, with my new group members - we call ourselves the Freelancers now - discussing about something that my memory can’t bring into a whole, but it was something worth talking about (as we always think it is), when suddenly the class started and the professor told us about the new long-term assignment that would replace our beloved journal, it was a blog.

Hearing the word “blog” made me reminisce about the one I did elementary school, but this one was not going to be as easy as it was way back then. She started showing us the different features we can do now a days with blogs, like customizing every inch of it as much possible ... if you put the time and effort. The time and the effort was used, but the simple blog which I knew now was a complex system that only made me lose my pretty straight forward attitude in my head and the thought of sympathy began to arise for my mother (when she began to tell me in the early 2000’s how does “x” thing work - when the “x” standed for anything that possessed a digital screen)

Now that I’m almost in the end of this “blog journey” I can recall that the only problem I had with this process was the interface with Blogger. I know, it may sound stupid, but I still don’t get how is it possible that I use the same font and font size with each post and some of them come out looking way smaller than the other, it’s just not logical to me. After 10 to 11 posts I can only say that Blogger is still a mystery to me, much like the universe. Those completed posts are ever-changing. Why? It led me to free my mind, much like the journal assignment; but the only difference of this one was that I had the opportunity to chase my fellow Freelancers journey in their blog. It made me understand different points of view from people who were basically strangers to me by the end of September. It kind-of united us to the point in which we communicate just for the fun of it or we go out just to spend time together. My fellow members did such a journey almost a month ago in which they went hiking to see the sunrise, I couldn't participe in such event because of commitments that were just not as flexible as originally thought. It may be weird to say, but this blog made us grow closer to each other by letting us enter some intimate part of their minds and I'm ever grateful.
