It makes me feel sad when I stop reading someone else's entry because I think it is boring. It makes me remember that most of what I write is not exactly page turning material, but even so, I can't help what I think about other people. Just because I want people to read my stuff does not mean I am obligated to read or like theirs. I do try to read everyone;s stuff, but sometimes I just don;t care.
Whether it is because I find their actual life boring, their word choice poor, or they simply aren't saying something particularly interesting that time, I skip a lot of stuff. I feel guilty b/c I would be upset if I truly knew how many people skip my stuff as opposed to just assuming thy do.
I have been wanting to re start my hand written diary. I feel like it would be better to record my thoughts there, away from the public. I am not sure why. I think I am just no longer in the frame of mind that thinks sharing my mind with the world at large is a good idea. I am not afraid that people are laughing at me, bored by me, or not even reading, but that I am sort of taking up space. These words are personal and wouldn't mean anything to anyone unless they asked me lots of questions. If I am the only one who knows what I mean, why post my words in public?
I used to fantasize that someone would read and want to strike up a conversation, but that has only happened once and she turned out to be a wierdo. I also sometimes hope that strangers read in secret and are getting some sort of help or insight from my thoughts and feelings, but that's just silly narsiccism. So, why? I don;t know. I liked the idea of leaving the words here just because why not, but now,maybe I should rein them in. Who knows who is reading and what they saying about me or how they are using my words?
I used to like writing by hand, but fell out of the habit. Maybe doing it again would help me see some things inside me that have hitherto been invisible. Maybe I will simply feel more comfortable. I don't know. I'm just thinking out loud and waiting on a train.
