A good friend posted this quote on her blog today.

"It's not what people think and say about you that makes you different. It's what you think about yourself and what your God has said about you that really matters" T D Jakes
and it set me thinking, had I set up my blog account really just to follow others, or do I actually want to write something. In truth the latter is the case but fear about the comments of others has stopped me each time. Anyways this quote stopped me in my tracks and hence this first post. This isn't going to be a blog written to others or for others, I guess its just for me as I work out who I am, and if anyone peeks in and thinks it feeble, or lacking in literary genius I will refer them to this quote, and whilst it might still hurt a bit, I'll get over it!!

Hi Sue!
ReplyDeleteI can completey relate to your blogging predicament... Blogs are funny things, their purpose is never made entirely clear as they're like journals but public...which kind of defeats the point of journals which are supposed to be where you can write exactly what you think and feel etc... And yes as you said, I do feel affected by what I write as you know other people will read it...it's pressure to say something really wise/profound when actually I quite like blogging because it's a space to organise your thoughts (and I type quicker than I handwrite!)
Thank you for your honesty - I'm really enjoying your ramblings! xxx
