I appreciate the blogging community for being a community that is by-in-large supportive, intelligent and thought out in how we communicate with the world. Other platforms seem to be a conversational firecracker where people have been known to do great harm. Yes we all get emotional and want to post about how we are feeling in the moment but when you think about it blogging makes you think about what you are saying and perhaps gives you a chance to breathe a bit more before pressing the save/publish/share button.
Blogging in the moment is something I have been known to do. Capturing the emotion of a situation makes it more real and immediate. However letting yourself cool down can help you save face and have a more reasoned response to how you are feeling.
To all of you who follow my blog and appreciate how I do it, I thank you. You are an oasis in a social media storm.
I declare this weekend as politics free weekend. No political posts, let’s change the mood and tenor and atmosphere. Only pop culture and stuff that makes you smile. Let’s have a spooky Halloween weekend that can be a diversion to the every day we have faced recently. I am sure folks from across the world would be grateful. Make it positive, light-hearted and other stuff. What do you say?
