Unless you’ve ridden your bike around the world or taken a canoe down the Amazon, no one will be interested in The Story of You. You can assume that only you are interested in that story.
That’s one of the differences between journaling and blogging. A journal is an appropriate place for The Story of You, a blog is not. A journal is a good place to write about your emotions, motivations, inchoate ideas, and everyday trials and tribulations. A blog is a good place to write about interesting, exceptional stuff you’re doing, things generally outside of your head (unless you’re a world-class philosopher).
That’s taken me years to figure out, but it goes a long way towards explaining why some of my blog posts are so unsatisfying and awful and others are enjoyable.
