I have to say, this is surreal for me. I have always thought of bloggers as attention seeking persons with low self esteem. People who need extra pats on the back, or have a desire to let the world know their opinion on matters they usually have a foggy perception of. Am I wrong?
I have been playing around with the idea of starting a blog for the past year or so. I have been reading friend's blogs and random blogs and I have come to the conclusion that blogs are not as black and white as I originally thought. Not everybody cares what others think, they simply want place to vent and debate. To share their thoughts and have someone comment on it. This is not necessarily a bad thing, in fact, it can be healthy. To an extent.
Blogs are definitely a reflection of their authors. If they are a fake person, it will be a fake blog. If they are an attention whore, their blog will be filled with subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) propaganda on their life. A masochist will write about the joy of humiliation. An introvert may start a blog and never post....I think you get the idea.
I think I have a pretty good idea of how this blog thing works, so I have one rule. I will always be a true reflection of myself. Shouldn't be to hard, right?
