Have You Ever Considered?

Have you ever thought about how weird blogging is? You put your thoughts, pictures, and stories on the Internet and then it's open to the public so complete strangers can read about the essay that was due last week or the song that made you smile. And you can follow people's families and hear about the one time they went to England or Tokyo, or when they had a child. And you don't know them outside the Internet, but you know more about them than you know about kids you went to high school with. Weird, right?

But it's also sort of beautiful. Because, if you're successful, you've managed to create something that another person can relate to (and they might even be a perfect stranger). If nobody else looks at what you wrote you still created something. You discovered a bit of yourself that maybe you hadn't recognized before. And that is beautiful, too.
