Great Expectations

In writing this blog, it was my hope that people would actually read it. At this point I haven't advertised my blog anywhere, but I have told some of my friends it exits. However, I don't think they're actually readint it. None of them have given me any feedback, so I take that no one is interested in what I am doing here. This did hurt me a little, but I am over it. I could resent them, but I hate cesspool of bitterness I would have to bath in to feel that way. I realized that while I am very interested in the things I write, not everybody will be. I would hope that the people close to me would be interested in something creative I put out there, but if they are not I can't let that bother me.

Writing, like all art, is a medium of self expression. If one is going to create they have to do it for themselves, and that is why I started this blog. I started it so I would have an outlet for my thoughts on life, the universe, and everything. Sure, the prose is written for others, but I did it for myself. I like what I have done here, and I am not going to stop even though, for all I know, no one has read this blog. I hope my friends and family will eventually see this, but I'm not going to tear my hair out over it. If they do, it will be on their own time, and for their own reasons, not because I urged them to. You can't chase after a bird trying to feed it; you have to wait patiently for it to come to you, otherwise that bird will fly away.

In life, you have to put some things on different pedestals than others. Have great expectations for yourself, but know that everyone else is worrying about their own things. Try to not let that get you down.
