To be Heard

I am Blogging.

For years I have resisted starting any online journal in the interest of avoiding that potentially obnoxious phrase. I am not a self-absorbed 15 year old brat so connected to the social scene that at any given moment you will find me tweeting that I just ate something really bad for me or took a huge dump. (excuse the crudity- but seriously that is what they tweet about!)

However a conversation with my sister awhile ago got me thinking. Among all the bloggers there are a lot of people who have nothing interesting to say. A lot of people who have no grasp of their native language, and have cauliflower for brains, flood the Internet with their daily activities. I do not have cauliflower for brains, there are things that happen to me, and I have a rather unique way (she says) of looking at them and sharing them with others.

I am not saying my grasp of the English language is stellar. I am not saying I have anything particularly interesting to say. What I am saying is that I do have a voice and so perhaps I deserve to be heard. Maybe no-one will care to listen, but then again, they might.

Having typed all this, I now realize that I might be alienating my audience so to speak. I just wish to join the ranks of bloggers who are like my sister- thoughtful, interesting people who wish to share their lives with others.
