On Irony

Some days, the very thing that I love about blogging is the one thing I hate. What brings a smile to my face and a little boost to my ego most of the time, on a different day, can leave me slightly resentful with a dash of bitter taste in my mouth.

People read me. I have regular readers. My site meter continues to climb.

I have no idea who most of these people are. I have no idea why they come here to read about my battles through grad school and the drama of being mid-20's. The majority of readers I will never know or meet and some of them I already do.

People think I'm interesting. I contribute something to someone else's life. Maybe I make them smile too.

I come here to share my happiness and hope it spreads, to be whimsical in ways my real life cannot afford, to connect with others in the world that I may never otherwise know. I write here to spend a few moments wallowing in my disappointments before I put them away, to spew my pain before it breaks me under its weight, to vent my anger before it eats me alive.

But, dammit, people read me ... and I cannot find peace at their expense ...

1 I come here not because you're my blog-sis, nor do you provide me with some amazing insight, but because I figure chicks dig a guy who reads. Especially a guy who reads chicks. (was that offensive enough for you?) There... so your sitemeter is climbing, huh? Lucky lady.

2 The good thing about posting "vents" is that someone might read it and think, "Wow... I thought I was the only one. I don't feel alone any more." Nothing wrong with venting.
