Although it may seem, a lot of times, that there is nothing new to add to something, I think each of us bring a new perspective, new persuasion, new theme from a unique viewpoint.
I’ve wondered many times why anyone would want to read what I have to say – after all, it’s all been catalogued before by someone more learned, someone who’s proficient on the topic or has researched similar topic in depth, someone who has more wisdom and experience. And all this “better” content is reachable to anyone who wants to Google it.
So, why then, do readers visit this blog? Why do I spend my time and energy writing whatever comes to my mind? And I have reached the conclusion that it’s because I have something meaningful to add. Maybe the central idea has already been presented before, but I bring in my unique perspective.
The person I am today is a sum total of my experiences and that started from my birth itself. If I wasn’t born to middle-class parents; if I wasn’t their pampered child; if they hadn’t sent me to one of the best schools in the city; if I wasn’t encouraged and supported to believe in myself – the scenarios are endless. Every step of this way, I have had experiences, got opportunities, formed relationships that helped me evolve as an individual and shape a certain vantage point. That is what I share with you.
I, therefore, have something to add to what has already been said.
My own words “matter” because they’re pertinent, they present a different take that is mine, and a lot of “average” people can relate with them.
These aren’t just echoes in a shriveling chamber — this is my original voice in a fast-expanding, interconnected, heterogeneous online world.
I have a story to tell that no one, other than me, can tell.

Its a great way to say "I am what I am".
And you have us followers who wait for your perspective! :D
And it's not just "I am what I am."
It's more of "I am this. Do you care to know and know more?"
I too, wonder so often, why I even write.. sometimes I feel there is no particular future in this.. but then like you so aptly said 'I have a story to tell that no one, other than me, can tell.' Beautiful. Keep writing.
A story needs to be told, and you have the honors.
I write - for myself.
Never think why others want to read you,that will influence your writings.
Write whatever whenever you feel like. :)
take carexx
Thats the spirit... you have a story only you can tell, so go on, there will always be someone listening when you speak out loud.
