Instead of hiding our diary under the mattress or putting an easily opened lock on it, we have decided to broadcast our thoughts and opinions to friends, family, and strangers. Welcome to blogging!!!
Blogging is filled with emotions of life including the pain, sad days, and the happiness. Instead of writing it down on a sheet of paper and finding a good hiding spot many of us have decided to allow others to read our thoughts. Our intimate thoughts that go on in our heads but feel like they should be heard.
Many of my thoughts are expressed to me and to my blog. I have several very close friends and a husband who would pretend to listen to my rambling but really why bother when I can just blog about it. Also, if someone takes the time to read my blog than obviously I have caught their attention in some way which saves my friends. So thanks to my blog readers, I am sure my friends are grateful.
I blog about my fears and I blog about things I would not be able to say in person without offending the general population that surrounds me. It is amazing how much people get offended by something that does not even concern them, nor relate to them. My job requires me to distance myself from the tragedy faced by many I speak with. I am able to do so without many problems. It may be cruel but... if it does not affect my life then I do not think I should worry about it. Now I say this in reference to things I deal with. No things like world hunger and abused children. When it comes to those issues I believe it should be everyone's problem. Back to the whole reason for the ramble here... people get offended by facebook status updates, twitter updates, blog entries, and the list goes on. Seriously... who cares!! I say, get over yourself. The person who posted it was very likely NOT thinking about you, so stop thinking it is about you!
