Since Rachella mentioned happening upon my blog, I decided to check out other people's blogs as well. I went around a bit. There's some interesting stuff. I posted a comment on someone's blog and afterwards realized I don't have any way to find his blog again. Funny. Some people have good things to say. There is definitely a lot of boring stuff.
But one thing that I noticed was that I am critical and/or competitive regarding other people's blogs. It's scary to see how big the world is. As long as I just write my blog and that's it, I can imagine I'm special. But then, when I start reading other's blogs, I get such a strong fear of, in fact, not being special at all.
I want to be special. I want my writing to be special. I want people to think I'm special. But how can I be special when there are so many people and chances are I'm mediocre?
The whole idea of specialness is interesting to me. Truth is everyone is supposed to be special. Everyone is special, right?
I wanted to write more but I need to go babysit my niece.

Hi, Rachella told me about your blog and I'm quite impressed. Why? Because it's good writing, sincere and fun to read. And you post regularly, which is essential.
There are certainly a lot of blogs out there, and the best way to be special/unique/interesting is to be yourself. And you're already doing that -- it comes through loud and clear. Just keep being who you are and you'll be fine. It's only when we put up facades and try to be someone else that our individuality blends into mediocrity.
FYI, you can use Bloglines to keep track of the blogs you read. It's pretty handy. :)
