What Do you Want?

It's been a month since I started this blog. I've published 6 posts in a month and honestly, I
am quite impressed by myself. I thought I'd stop after 3 or 4.

Hey Guys, . I have finally decided to start my blog, 'The Ambivalent Soul'. ( FINALLY AFTER THINKING ABOUT IT FOR 84 YEARS) I'm really stoked and can't wait to start this journey with y'all. . People who have been following me here on Instagram for a while know how and what I usually talk about, it's just going to be a different platform but hopefully better. . Link to the Introductory post is in the bio! . And if you've liked what I've done in the past and if you think this deserves to be shared with other people then please please please share it! It would really mean a lot. . Thank You. . . . . . . #blogger #blogging #TheAmbivalentSoul #Blogpost #HelloWorld #amateurblogger #wordpress #IrishBlogger #IndianBlogger #writersofigers #writershub #writerscommunity

Anyway, The first two posts got Crazy response and that's obvious, I hyped it up and all my friends were excited and kind enough to share it on their social media. People read it, some liked it and I guess some didn't. Well, can't keep everyone happy.

The third post was still fine but things started to change from the 4th one. I'll be honest and say, It was BAD.  The views dropped, and even though some people were complimenting me but weren't sharing it and that's okay, you can't like everything, you can't relate to everything that I relate to, you don't have time to share every time I post something and all the other valid and logical reasons.
How I see it, It's like a library full of books, you read some of the books because obviously you can't read all the books in the library and let's say even if you can, you won't suggest each and every book to your friends. The sane thing to do is to suggest your favourites. Books that need to be read more and more!

Don't get started with all that "Oh, it's not about the views", " You've just begun, give it some time". I know all this stuff and I agree to it as well. But still, there's a part of me that really wants more and more people to read/feel/share what I'm putting up here, it shows that people do care and it further works as a motivation to just get better. I know I'm using it as a medium to share my thoughts and feelings but at some level, yes, I do want them to have some significance as well and to make sure that I'm going in some direction.

There's this one post, 'A Letter That I'll Never Send You', It's not that people didn't like it. I did receive a few messages telling me that they really loved it, how pure it seemed and how they could actually relate to it! But not many of these people really shared the post. And I wondered why?

I think that people are too scared to accept the reality, the fact that they actually have been at that place, where they loved and lost. They're afraid that what if we share it and people will think, "What?! When and who was he/she in love with?" or maybe how would their current partner react to it? Because they never really talked about their past relationships or maybe you just lied because you're too scared to explain everything to them. Or maybe you fear what if you share it and the person who you thought about reading that letter would actually realize that this was intended for him/her?

Or maybe it was just bad and not really relatable or not well written or whatever!

But you know what I really learned from this? Yes, I do want to write about what I want to but also I want to know what you all want to read about? As I mentioned before, this blog can't be confined to one specific genre. So, just tell me what would you like to talk about? What thoughts do you have? Which emotions make you feel vulnerable or weak or powerful? Tell me what ideologies about life interests you?!

Geeeeeeeeez, Do I sound like those presenters in seminars who say I want to make this session an interactive one so, please feel free to ask me any queries and when the session is done and the presenter asks to raise hands for any questions and the crowd is just dead silent as If nobody was listening and he just then awkwardly says, 'well, okay. Thank you for having me'.

Anyway,
Just DM me on Instagram here or comment down below (you can do it anonymously), email me at theambivalentsoulblog@gmail.com . I know people would still just read this post and close it and think "Ah, he's trying too hard", well, I am, there's no doubt about it! so while you're at it, you better leave a comment! Thanks.

Ok, Bye.
