To the people who have been reading and responding to my blog on the various forums, instead of posting on each forum individually, I would like to thank you all for your appreciation.
I started my blog to communicate my thoughts to ... myself. It doesn't really matter how much people around me care or how good the relationship is, a very essential part of of me can no longer be shared or understood, and the gap in mental processing of the world's ways has become wide and basic. Those close to me try as hard as I do, but the equation just doesn't add up.
That is why my blog is about every aspect of life as it happens to me or I think about.
I write a blog rather than a diary because I can at least pretend that I am talking to a person. A diary would be a blind alley, but with a blog I can expect to reach out to others and connect in a language that is mutually understood. Even if nobody reads I can see my own thoughts, share them with myself. I find that what is subjective can become objective after only a short time, in fact even while writing.
I read an article by Shazia Mirza in The Guardian where she says that a blog is the ultimate in narcissism. Perhaps one day she will accept that nothing is absolute.
I never realised before how important it is to have someone to talk to even if the conversation never happens: it adds substance to an individual's being.
So to all those who have been reading, thank you.
