I'm gonna jump...
A few years ago a girlfriend of mine introduced me to the term "blog". She showed me the one she had created. She stated it was a place she had created where she could go in and share her thoughts, feelings, and opinions, and get feedback from peers. My first thought to myself was, "Why on earth would you want to publicly state your thoughts, feelings, and opinions? Doesn't that make you feel incredibly vulnerable?" My second thought to myself was, "Gosh I wish I was important enough that people would want to listen to my thoughts, feelings, and opinions about a particular subject". The whole concept was very intimidating to me. It still is. I must admit when I first read through the syllabus in this course, anxiety immediately overcame my whole body. Even though we were given resources to learn how to create a successful blog, I still had major doubts that I could do this. This is completely out of my comfort zone, but as I have learned over the last couple of years sometimes you just have to take that leap of faith and jump. With that said, I'm gonna jump!

I think it's kind of neat that we can share things in a somewhat anonymous way that allows us to have shared emotions and experiences. I think that's why many people like blogs. There is someone out there that they can relate to and has similar experiences as our own. There are a lot of people out there that want to hear what you have to say. Keep going!
ReplyDeleteKMK - I am with you I have never quite understood how people could put their feelings out there where everyone could see. Now that we are blogging I am less fearful but I still do not see myself publishing my deepest feelings. I see the blog as a place where we can get together and share ideas and thoughts.
