I'll repeat here what I posted on my 365th Blip, because I don't think I will ever feel differently:

When I started on Blip, I thought I did it because I am notoriously bad at keeping in touch and this way people back home, across the ocean, could see what I was doing, and that I was still alive.
Then, gradually, things changed.
Nothing I could put my finger on at first, but as weeks, months passed I started to understand why this daily sit-down with a (slowly improving) photo and my thoughts was so important to me. Why I felt so compelled to record my day, my life, my love, my everything.

It's because I don't want to be gone when I'm gone.
An incredibly powerful, primal urge to leave something of myself behind.

And since we have no children ... I Blip.
