I am really happy that I started these weblogs. They give me a sense of belonging and definitely have reduced my fear of becoming a foreigner to my own people

Now, I can write in Farsi and communicate with my friends from home. I can find new friends whom I might never meet and further more, we get to talk. I can say whatever is on my mind and people will let me know what they think about it.
I think weblogging is a very good thing :)

In Iran, it is a totally different issue. In a country where the press are banned from saying lots of things, where the only TV channels belong to the state, where more that 60% of the population are below 30 years old, weblogs have helped people to become little journalists. It is an unsolvable problem for the Islamic Republic of Iran. You cannot silence everyone, can you?

Reading some of the weblogs, let me understand why my 21 year old sister acts the way she does, they help me understand why I am who I am.
