it's a road trip, blogging is

Seems like blogging in the in thing now. Almost everyone that I know blogs. May be an occasional blogger, may be the daily blogger, may be spur of the moment blogger. As long as you have read of a blog, you are part of this phenomenon.

You had a bad day and you need to let go, so you write. You were swept off your feet with a proposal, you can wait to share with the world on happiness. You went for an interview and had post-anxiety attacks on your chances, you blog too. You had an idea to entwine carefully thought out characters in morbid plots, you blog your way. Your poetry juices goes overdrive every day, so you blog. You did in depth research on topics close to your heart, you blog your findings.

So wide are the blogging themes and materials that it's impossible to find enough labels to categorize them. Take you chance and click at blog. You really cannot predict what your eyes may be treated to, until you have the page open in front of you. And you really can't tell what you may get out of them. Once, on a random blog-viewing trip, I can across a blog on quilting. It left me a gaping reader upon seeing all the quilts of different shapes, sizes and designs that the blogger had made! Best, she even had a personal tender note for each piece, dedications to her inspirations and intendeds. So sweet!

The background of these blogs are equally engrossing, too. From their designs, you can really tell that they put so much effort and time to think through the presentation of their blog. It may be for others, but mostly I think it's for themselves. An avenue to showcase their creativity and enjoy it. People are so creative nowadays and are not afraid to display their creativity. It's so inspiriting! Of course, nothing's over the top, it's just whether you are tuned in to the same wavelength as the creator.

Maturity. You would be surprise to learn that, in my random blog-viewing trips, I've come across sites maintain by bloggers with only a single digit to their age, but blogs with an air of maturity that makes me ashame of my ramblings, sometimes. I may be tricked, but you have no reason to doubt the profiles given and just take it as it was shared.

It's all good. All craving for a bit of attention, the need to let go, to keep in touch, to share, to teach and learn, to do just what you want, with no or very little restrictions is making the world and the human race a little more transparent. Maybe that's why blogging caught on so big. It's a road trip. You can learn so much about the workings of the human mind and their achievements as part of this blogging community. When you start posting, you contribute and teach.
