For me the answer to the question is 'no' though with Dave Pollard the question of why I even write at all is a good one. He writes that "attention and appreciation and reassurance are inevitably a part of what motivates us to write in public 'spaces'." But now, he says, "I now write my blog basically to think things through for myself, to 'see my reactions placed before me for inspection'." I'm a bit different, I think. I see myself through my experiences, not my relationships, and my desire to create is borne out of a desire to share what I see and feel, not to define and shape who I am. Either way, it's interesting to reflect on these thoughts, because it's the age-old question: where is the space for self, how does it become what it is, and where does it go (if anywhere) when we're done?
