Hi, everyone! My name is Clarissa Aubrey but you can call me Clars. I am not really an expressive type of a person, but through this blog, I will now finally able to express my feelings, thoughts and emotions.

So this is for the guy once I loved. I assumed that he love me for he showed me care and respect. But I was wrong, he just loves the fact that I was there when he needed someone to make him feel okay. I wanted to tell him how much I love him, but I was afraid that our feelings won’t come out mutual. Every time when I was with him, I saw how happy he was but not because of me. I saw how happy he was when he was looking for a girl he truly love. I was martyred that time to the point that I still want to stay on his side, even though he broke my heart into pieces. I know that he will leave me as soon as the girl came back to him, but still, I did everything I could do for he will stay being with me. He was not able to appreciate all the efforts I exerted to him, but there was I, still showing my affection towards him.

I am presently happy that I have proceeded onward with him since I become more happy. I am cheered that I would now be able to look in his eyes without feeling anything. And I can finally say that I’ve released myself from the torment he caused me.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
