Grandmother Googling you

A great thing about blogging
is that it can make yourself feel
as if
speaking to a lot of people

listening unconditionally


Even when things can't seem to get worse
and even when everyone's asleep

YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO POST THE MESSAGE
Just write down all your thoughts first

That part's just like writing in a diary
The difference comes when you actually think it's good enough, and post it anyway
A 'fan' might read it.
An agent might.
Even your grandmother could (if she knows how to google you :)

One tip for the impulsive blogger: don't immediately post your text.
Even though it felt great to put down all that you wanted to say,
if you don't check on readability, it's probably not going in as easy with people as it came out of you.

Some things are unbloggable

I suppose you would like to know an example.
Wouldn't it be a paradox, to mention something unbloggable in a blog?
Yes, very much paradoxal.

But I looked up the word and it means only to seem impossible.
So, even when a paradox, it should be possible.

What is unbloggable?

Certain life experience that you value highly
but find too hard to completely share
because of its complex
situation-dependent
personal kind of perspective.

You want to blog it
but it just
doesn't
seem to translate to
such an alienating platform
as wide and anonimous
as the internet.

You start to question
why
the internet is so appealing in the first place.
Oh yes!
you can reach anybody!
But how much percent of anybody do you really know?

I quit Facebook the other day.

It felt GREAT...

One place less to lose myself.

Find yourself!
