The need to write...

Sometimes, i wonder why there are so many people using the "blog" to pour their heart out,their thoughts and innermost emotions. I think people in general have this need to tell others,to tell a story,to share but in todays volatile world,people are too busy with their daily life...for them just to sit down and have a chat with each other. The other problem is to find the right person to talk to. I guess creative people (like writers) end up being great story tellers,by writing a book,producing a movie,witing a play etc,others have great stories to tell to but end up just keeping it in them...sigh

R writers then lonely people or they choose to be private in person but expressive in writing. Or is it a little of both...
