Am I Writing A Blog About Blogging?

I actually wrote this the other day but haven't had the chance to type it out. Yes, that's right. I WROTE it. On a piece of paper. With a pencil. We'll see how it turned out.

Yeah... like this...

I want to keep writing. But what to write about. I want it to be stimulating, funny, smart, thought provoking. Am I all of those things? I suppose in order to write that way, I would need to think that way. Hours, sometimes days to write a 4 paragraph blog?? Yup! I'm actually sitting in a cafe writing this while on my lunch hour. (Margo's on Victoria is amazing by the way!) I wonder how many times I'll rewrite. And how many times I'll change directions. When you blog, you are supposed to write what comes to your head and so be it, right? What if your head is full of things? Some you can't share because it's not your information to share in the first place. Some you can't share because you don't want to hurt, offend or piss off any one. Or at least anyone you care about. I personally don't care if I piss off people I don't know (sorry to any strangers that might be reading this). I have my opinion, they have theirs. I suppose that is what blogging is about. It's my opinion. Don't like it? Don't read it.

I've spent far too much of my life caring what other people think. It's time I stop tip-toeing, don't you think? Wait, I don't care what you think! Yes I do. But I'm not going to change my opinion if you disagree with it. Not that I'm not open to other people's opinions. Although, if your opinion is closed minded, don't bother telling me. You will NOT convince me that it's wrong to be gay or that people with a different colour of skin than my own deserve lesser treatment (or different treatment at all for that matter). But at the same time, I embrace differences. What kind of world would we be if everyone looked the same, lived the same and loved the same. People are who they are. Yes, it would be nice to have nothing but good in the world. But unfortunately, that isn't realistic. All I care about when meeting new people is if they have a good heart or not. I would give the shirt off my back for the people I care about. I don't think it's too much to ask the same in return.

I've been lucky to have a lot of good people in my life. Really lucky. I want to thank all of those people. Some of them will probably never see this. But I think they know. I hope that I showed them how much I appreciated them.
I'll end there, I think. Good night.
