I know I should take this positively. I have been trying to convince myself to take it as a compliment, others have said the same too. But I just couldn't when it's too much of similarity out there.

I know I have no copyright of the language. I know everyone has their freedom to write the way they want. And I do know there is thousands or perhaps millions of blogs out there which may look similar. But there is also one thing I do know, one blog can indeed have so much influence over others' writing style when they read it frequent enough.

I love Jenny Sun's blog, I love the way she writes and her creativity. But it is never in a million years that I would want to copy her style. Perhaps copy is a harsh word, learn is the correct word. I simply admire the way people write things beautifully. It awes me to the every bit of my brain how wonderfully they can write. But it never occurs to me that I could imitate or learn the way they write. I never think that "oh, that is good, I shall use that in my writing."

I know everyone has their right to adopt other people's writing style. But doesn't everyone has their own unique writing style? It is our very own unique writing style that makes us uniquely different. It is our very own "write with your feelings" that makes us interesting. Imagine if I were to write the way Jenny Sun writes, that wouldn't be me writing with my feelings. Because I would have Jenny Sun in my mind all the time, how she writes and what she uses in writing. This is Ashley writing with her own feelings, nothing else.

What's the purpose of blogging? Different people have their different purpose.

Guess I have said enough of my purpose of blogging, I simply want to remember what happened in my life and how I felt at one point of time.

Do you have your own unique way of writing? Or are you a follower?

Writing this out has once again helped me collected my thoughts.

Yes, I feel great now when I know there is someone out there likes the way I write and writes the way I write. It's a compliment, and I am flattered. Thank you.

Blogging is definitely therapeutic if you know how to let it go and flow! :D
