Am I too old fashioned!? I'm in my 20's...!

So I'm new to this blogging malarky. My friend suggested I set one up - weather it be a transparent excuse for me to vent some of my incessant rambling or because others may enjoy the random clogs of my thoughts in my brain turning
I've yet to find out. I apoligise in advance if nothing makes sense.

I can't help but think blogging is a little sad, not in the contextualized sense of the word but if blogging is a trail
of thoughts then what happens to the good old fashioned diaries? With personalised hand written thoughts, where
one's handwriting can reflect the mood and subject they're writing about. It's funny, I have tons of hand written
diaries from the age of about 10 where I religiously wrote in everyday about how I would hate a subject at school,
have a secret crush on a boy I shouldn't and maybe, just maybe feel the need to vent some frustration on your
friends that you could never say out aloud for fear of being a cowbag.

I always find it romantic my Grandparents used to write hundreds of love letters to each other whilst Grandad
was at war and My Gran kept them all, only for my Mum to find them as a little girl years later. Sadly, my Gran
then got rid of all the letters as she said they were for them only to read- there's something romantic about the
secrecy of the letters but also sad that I, nor my children etc will never know what they had.

I realise this is a little morbid but if I was to die, I think I would want my diaries buried with me- as my diaries
are my thoughts and my thoughts only and also cheek blushingly embarassing! But isn't that sad...maybe
blogging is a good thing- creating a trail of thoughts that others can potentially relate to- things are best in the
open anyway- aren't they?! I'm yet to be convinced.
