Losing Power?

Here goes the ego trip again. What am I seeking by doing this blog? To be observed by others? I'm made self conscious by something I've read about the unnecessary need to be observed by others and to focus on oneself. Well, that's the basis of blogs, I'm afraid. Or that's how I see them. There could be other things involved, like the desire to share information. But is this a way to lose my power by advertising what I know? I don't know. Maybe this isn't the place to write freely, as one would for oneself as self-therapy. There's a sense of openness and freedom when compared to private journaling. Well, if I'm making a mistake I'll find out about it sooner or later.
