Why am I blogging?

Christian Decker wrote this in the early morning:
This blog has been live for the last 2 years (it’s actually turning 2 next week) and I’ve been more or less active, posting new articles, trying to keep up with new events and trends and sometimes sprinkling in some personal posts. The blog has had it’s up and downs and sometimes I was successful with my publishings, especially in the more technical corner: And I think I can be pretty proud of most of them. Then again others weren’t as successful as I thought they might be… The problem is that after two years I’m starting to ask myself what the point in this is, take it as a mid life crisis for bloggers, blogging takes a lot of time, especially when you focus on technical articles and tutorials like I prefer to do, and I don’t have that time anymore. Maybe it will get better after the current semester, but the question is do I really want to go on and blog? Blogging has become some sort of obbligation, something I have to force myself into, it’s supposed to be fun, but as it is right now it isn’t. It’s more of a work.
