So ya, our little blogging community has been seriously slacking. Here we have more bloggers than ever before and everyone is just waiting for someone else to post something they want to respond to or talk about. Well rest assured dear readers, I am your man.... or at least I was, till I got all happy, pfft, happy isn't fun to read, or as fun to write!!
So, how can I come up with a topic that I feel everyone can respond to? It's very difficult actually. I mean, it's not like I can just make up something to be passionate about (however much it just looks like I do that). But I am passionate about life, and finding interesting things in it, so I just don't ever have to look too far really.
In fact I am very interested in our blogging community to be honest. I enjoy watching the new comers come and try to taste what everyone else has been talking about. Well, to be honest, the most important thing about all this is just being honest. Honest about life, and honest about whatever it is you're writing about. I used to have answers for everything (as some of you I'm sure remember, and still feel I do) It is difficult to transition from feeling like you have an answer to anything in life, to stepping out of the door with a foot forward saying 'I don't know' (ya ya, faith, I know). Everyone has little challenges in life, and being confident enough to say "I don't know" is a big deal. Now, this may seem like such a small thing, but for someone who felt he has a grasp on his world and where the limits are the admission "I don't know" about my potential is a life altering realization.
See, that was me being honest. But not everyone can or even should be that honest. Honesty is a very sharp sword and shouldn't be wielded lightly unless you really know what you're doing. Which I don't lol. They say time heals all wounds, but it's humility that cures honesty's wounds. This blog is my sparing match with the truth about whatever I want. It is safe because I can edit my words before I say them (sometimes I don't edit well either).
Most of the pain in life comes from a lack of honesty, not because people are lying, but because people aren't telling the truth. The truth is trust to me. Every time I find out someone else in the family or friend is reading this I have to mentally focus and accept what I've written in the past is going to possibly read by them. It's a very strange sensation to be forced into all that honesty lol. But it's been liberating really.
So, what am I going to write about? I don't know... err wait, I see what I did there...
