Blogs are almost always started out with a selfish motive: getting your emotions out, showing the world what a kickass author you are, airing your own opinions, or even giving out subtle hints for people who....you know....youcareaboutsomuchbutforthelifeofyoucan'tconnectwith.

But eventually, as you start reading other people's blogs and all, you realize just how much something someone says can affect you. I come back after the Senior Social today...was fun but I'm confused...and I'm missing Jester badly...he was there and all but you know that whole "so close and yet so far" thing? SO YES, SOB STORY OVER.

Anyway, the first thing when I did when I got online was check out my daily reads. Honestly, one of the nicest things ever, the main thing to brighten your day, is when your favourite author updates. Posts something up for you to think about. Tells you how THEIR day went.

And we see a bit of a shift here. While we start out reading and writing blogs for out own furtherment, we end up nearly feeding off of each other. In the most positive sense, that is. You can have an absolutely crap day, then come back and read about someone who had a similar day, and you don't feel quite so alone anymore.

Notice how, in a world of 7 billion people, it's still SO VERY EASY to feel so alone?

I don't even know what this post is FOR.

But to all of y'all who post about your supposedly boring days, or your humourous experiences, or things that make you cry, or people that bring joy to your lives....keep doing it. Because odds are, you're not just doing it for you anymore.

You bring such a beautiful personal sense of human connection to an otherwise unemotional, robotic information superhighway. The knowledge that not so long ago, someone was feeling just as bad, or equally as good, as you were.

Try feeling lonely with that floating around.
