Wanted to share a little of my heart with ya'll today!

I have something that’s been on my heart for awhile now, and just need to get it out…

The blog world is an amazing place. I have met some of the neatest people through this unique community. With the click of a mouse you get a glimpse into the life of someone else. Someone you might possibly never meet but someone whose life you’ve taken interest in reading about each day. And it still blows me away that people want to read what I have to write and want to take part in my life. It’s a place where you can cry in one’s sorrow and trials and at other times you’re crying tears of joy in praising with them when a prayer has been answered or during exciting times in their lives.

But I’ve come to a frustrated point and I don’t know if anyone can relate to this… but I’ve come to realize that this blog phenomenon can become a really cliquish place. Granted there are those who we tend to relate to more and gravitate towards, but this has just become very apparent to me.

I started this whole blog thing because one of my real life friends Holly started a blog to keep friends and family informed of her little girl who has Epilepsy. I sat down one day in July of 2008 and started a blog of my own. Had no idea why I was doing it, didn’t even think I would stick with it that long. But it turns out I did stick with it and it turned out to be something far more greater then I could have ever imagined and I have met some of the most amazing people and have formed some wonderful friendships.

I’ve had the chance to talk on the phone with some blogger friends. I’ll be meeting my first blogger friend Lauren this Sunday and in February I’ll have the opportunity to meet some more.

I just hope that everyone feels comfortable coming by my blog and I in no way want to pick favorites and that’s not what this whole thing is about to me. It’s not meant to go back to that place where you feel like you’re in high school and fighting for your way to fit in. It’s not about how many comments you get, how many people come by your blog, or how popular you are in the blog world.

I always try to be mindful of that when those feelings creep in. I always want to keep it at a place where it’s just simply wanting to let people into a glimpse of my life..for whoever wants to read, and that’s how it all began and hopefully that’s how it will stay to the end.

Some of ya’ll have perhaps noticed this as well, maybe you haven’t and I’m in no way picking one person out, but I was just becoming more and more aware of this. It’s frustrating to me, but maybe in reality it shouldn’t be. Because as for me, I just have me and my blog to worry about…. and as long as I have my part of the internet it just reminds me of how I don’t want to be when it comes to the blogosphere and how my blog got started and how I would like it to stay.

And this is just me, and this is just my heart!
