Everybody needs a blog, right?
It seems like that's true. I scan through blogs, amazed at how much people have to say three to four times a day. I marvel at how easy they make writing these things seem, at all the words falling from their fingertips to disperse amongst the infinite etherworld, at how I'm reading the secrets and anecdotes of perfect strangers.
I've never really been able to do this and every blog I've attempted to maintain has begun with this same statement. Even now I keep drifting into thoughtlessness, a gray foggy area that holds no words.
What's the power of opinion? The power that makes us verbally vomit over everyone and everything. What makes us want to share pieces of ourselves with the world? To create a persona that's only a reflection of ourselves, carefully shaped and crafted by what we choose to share and created in the eyes of those who read.
I'm not going to make any grandeoise statements- I'm just going to document pieces of myself, as they appear. Maybe I'll learn something.
Looks like I'll be the first to post in your new blog. Thought of starting one myself, but I never know what to say. Hope this is a fun learning experience for you, and I'll be sure to pop in from time to time to say hi. :)
