The most serious blogs need comic relief every now and then. It’s important to have a sense of humor and to be silly in life. All work and no play makes one dull. Post whatever makes you laugh because it might make someone else laugh too and we need all the laughter we can get these days.
Ones identity is an outward and inward expression of who they are. Everything from race, gender, occupation, orientation, religion, family, community and education make us who we are in many ways. Our identity can come from people and things that influence us. How we live and work can be a part of telling someone who we are. Sometimes our identity can be a trademark and sometimes it can be a liability. Our connections can identify who we are. Next time you take a look at your ID you can get a snapshot of who you are and where you come from. The most important thing is to be yourself as your primary identity.
There are many things that are cool about blogging but I enjoy seeing how you all live your lives and enjoy the things you are passionate about. I think that is what this medium does very well is that we can share things about ourselves, where we live and what drives us. We get to see what the weather is in other parts of the world or a new grandchild being born, a new recipe that has really become a family favorite, what new outfit we are wearing these days. Of course there is the opportunity to share the stuff we are going through and to seek advice when things are not easy and we are struggling. This is the one thing that keeps us connected and are the ties that bind. I find everyday peoples stories and lives more fascinating than those who are famous. Heck we are all famous on the web.
My friends your story is important. Keep on blogging for all the good it can do.
It seems that millennials have taken to blogging to tell their stories and to share their interests. I’m wondering what you think on this trend. Either way it’s good to see people blogging again.
Thanks to the people at Automattic and WordPress.com for creating a great blogging platform for expression and community and connection. I am grateful to them for doing all the heavy lifting of hosting and behind the scenes stuff. Supporting them is something I gladly do. I will be renewing my personal service tier soon. Keep on blogging fellow WordPress peeps.
Are my posts too repetitive, somber, serious? Just wondering if I might be in a content rut? Do you find my blog a little boring at times? Feedback welcome and encouraged.
