Does it matter....really?

I woke up this morning and realized I had yet to do a blog for my English 102 class. I really don’t know what to pick as a topic. That lead me to think about why I am writing this blog. Is it really important? I guess it is, not just because the professor tells us it is but it is really helping me with my writing. I used to be really afraid to put my writing out for others to see. I normally just write for myself or the person that I am closes to in my life and that is it. This started my thinking, why do we tend to hide our thoughts from people? Is it because of our fear of the judgment that they may cast on us? Or is it something more? Is it just human nature? I am not really sure. I definitely think that it depends on the person who writes it and the person who reads the author’s piece. Yes the fear plays a part in it because we are “trained” in a way to feel nervous and fearful about what we produce and how it will be perceived once we are finished. I also think that it is human nature to judge things that are new, be it because we are skeptical of them or we just think the old version is better. In a way this kind of relates, although yes it off topic, of how people go to the same places at the same times on the same days.  I noticed this a lot when I worked in a restaurant and still notice it at my new job at the Piggly Wiggly in the small town of Howards Grove. In a way asking if this is important turned into proving that every one in society is a creature of habit. Just a thought.
