“A penny for your thoughts”.
A very often used expression people dont often use around me anymore because of another popular expression : “be carefull what you wish for, because you just might get it”. Once i start venting my thoughts, there is (usually) no stopping me.
You may think it’s weird that for someone who claims to have so many thoughts, only so few blogposts appear. There are several reasons for that : (a) lack of time (very lame, i know), (b) my thoughts are none of your business (a bit harsh but nevertheless true) and .. uhm .. well, i guess that’s it actually.
“I should/could blog about this” is a thought that frequently crossed my mind these past few weeks. But then another question came to mind : “why would i” ? Why would I want people to read about things I’ve done or hear their opinion on my opinion ?
Friends hardly every read my blogposts since we talk in real life so why would I share all these things with strangers or people I “know” but never met ?
Is it because there is more comfort in the anonimity of a stranger ?
Is it the comfort of being able to just walk or click away when people say something you don’t like ? The comfort of being able to mute people and cut off all contact and just continue elsewhere ?
Or have we all grown so lonely that we need to reach out to “the unknown”, just to get some feedback on our thoughts.
Or, is it our ego, that wants as much feedback, attention, followers and fanclubs as possible ?
I guess the real question is : does it really matter ?
