First blog entry about blogging ! or is it ?

A digital white paper stays empty in front of me indicating that I have given all words possible and a space in a far away server to express myself.  I don't know which words to select yet. I can't decide what to hide and what to expose about myself. On the one hand, it is liberating  and intriguing to be connected, even virtually, to the whole world, on the other hand it is intimidating to acknowledge the extend of what I perceive as myself can be now reconstructed through my presentation in eyes of my readers. Shall I take care ? Or shall I just let my mind flow, so that my readers are drown into stream of my consciousness. What makes a good blog entry different from others:  readable and yet mysterious, flowing and yet thrilling ? As a newbie  I will drop philosophy of appealing blog entries and just dive into plethora of possible self-representations. I will let time decide if there will be a crystalized sense of myself or there will be projections of my mind and psyche into this white space as circumstances stimulate the desire for reach. After all no one is always complete and no one actually has a consistent picture of himself, maybe it is an ethical ground rule which we overlooked over the years : in time we need to be consistent. Does this really exist or we force ourselves to fit in a predetermined bowl ? As seasons change and water freezes, it partially takes the shape of its container, yet forcing the boundaries. Then one day water melts and it is ready to flow. Shall we ignore the potential of a river as we are shaped and frozen in values we haven't selected. As idea of freewill is a preconception of how free we actually are, on the contrary social perception of ourselves sometimes can be judgmental and limiting. Never mind the dark picture I am presenting here. It undermines the comfort of a human life that society brings about in exchange for our absolute freedom. This freedom realized in a cultural context makes more sense. I find it amusing too how different cultures understand limits of this exchange. For instance, I may have to select understandable expressions for instance for my whole audience, which is a fruitless and also impossible task. Ones who want to connect to you will eventually connect to you, I reckon. Our differences are important to fill empty spaces with artistic expression of ourselves. Looking for a consistent expression though in many cases related to our emotional world is an illusion of the bowl. Every emotion will melt one day !
