I Never Thought Blogging Would...

I never thought blogging would lead to so many people.  In real life or on the interwebs.  Honestly, the blogs I read and the people I follow, secretly, I'm begging to be their friend.  I relate to the ones I read and follow and when you read a sentence they wrote or see a picture they posted that resonates in you, you want to get to know that person more.

I think I've always written better than I've spoken.  Even with my high school crush (awww yeah), I had the courage to pass him notes but never really speak to him.  Most people hide behind their words but mine really show who I am.  In blogging, you find people who can appreciate that.  They share that same passion.  I was always teased in school for my love of reading and writing and in the blogosphere, that is the norm.  I've never had a core group of women who I wasn't related to.  I feel like I have that now, just in the one year I've been blogging. 

Blogging has taught me so much about myself, it's made me more confident, more courageous when it comes to trying new things and meeting new people.  I think some people think that "likes and comments" on blogs and posts is a little narcissistic, I don't.  I think every little blip that someone takes the time to click or show, means they get what you're saying.  They care about what you care about.  I never thought blogging would create a network that I would be so lucky to be a part of.
