I came across a personal blog the other day and was very intrigued by it because of its owner's heartfelt words which then made me delve deeper into her blog. As I went through the entries, I pieced together an image of her in my mind. It felt voyeuristic reading the private thoughts and feelings of a stranger. But I guess if you're prepared to have a blog, you must be prepared to have total strangers lurking about.
Like a puzzle, I found myself trying to piece together the different facets of this girl's life - her job, personality, interests etc. She seemed like a troubled soul and her personal relationships with men suffered because of it. It wasn't the most happy of blogs, but what I liked about it was that her words came from her heart and there were no pretensions.
Sometimes I wonder what total strangers make of me when they read my blog. I know there are some readers out there whom I've never met. I'm curious as to what makes them continue to read about a stranger's life. If they ever met me, I wonder if I'll match the image they have of me. Interesting thought.
hey there. I am one of those strangers who read your blog. I can relate to you as we almost the same age, and i love the way you enjoy life!
my impression of you is that you are a little tomboyish (hehe, so am I), you love sports, and you love to travel, shop and eat good food.
Love your blog and keep up the good work!
