I think for me, blogging is an equal mix of wanting to connect with people, and wanting to express/share/live my life openly and honestly. But mostly, I write for me. I think that if I’m excited about a new diet, or that I stubbed/broke my toe then okay, that’s my life as I’m living it. If I wish to share than on my blog, then that’s cool. I’m not hurting anyone by doing so, and I’m not forcing anyone to read what I write.

I think there are a alot of bloggers out there, and they are all diverse and different. Pretty much a reflection of how it is in real life. It’s accepted that you won’t like everyone you meet in RL, and I’m pretty sure that you won’t like every blog you read. If a blog annoys you, don’t read it. There are many other blogs to read, and I’m sure you’ll find blogs that you like written by people you might not hate.

And after a while, maybe, after you’ve been reading a persons blog, and they’ve been reading yours, leaving comments, reading about their life, looking at each others photos photos and tweeting, messaging, txting back and forth, they somehow aren’t a complete stranger anymore. You may not know every little thing about their life, but you’ll know the important stuff. Just because you haven’t met them in “rl” doesn’t mean you don’t know them. Can’t help them, or be friends with them, or even care about them and theirs.

*shrug* This is turning out to be a bit of a novel, and that wasn’t my intention. I think what I’m trying to say is that just because you don’t understand how some people are, and the situations that they are in doesn’t mean you can’t, or won’t one day experience it for yourself.

While I enjoy the comments and camaraderie that comes from the blogging community, I mostly write to get things off my chest. It’s never really been about pleasing an audience. It’s what I might write in a journal if I wrote in one… To a certain extent. It’s more censored. For instance, I can’t talk crap about people I know in real life that also know about that blog (like MIKE! lol….).

If you’ve never heard of her, you should look at dooce.com. She had MILLIONS of readers. Which I would never want. It would take away the meaning for me…

OMG!!!! I TOTALLY know what you’re talking about! Like this one time, I was hurt real bad, and told everyone about it, and everyone commented and it was like totally amazing.

No, but I know what you’re saying; hence, my little ‘experiment.’
