The loneliness of posting a blog you know no one will read
To blog or not to blog... That is the question. The fear of not being liked, but more importantly the fear of not even being noticed. This is the main reason I sit here hesitating to publish anything at all knowing full well that the only person that really reads this blog is my father... If I ask him to. Some people post things to get reassurance from their viewers how much they are loved and adored. I'm not sure how much of that applies to blogging, but it defiantly is true in social media. I myself am guilty of this, posting things on Facebook hoping to receive favorable responses from friends. It's human nature to crave love and attention we have to fight it every day not to become self centered. So why even try to capture anyone's attention if you know it is not going to happen? That is the other thing about us humans, no matter how much we may try to believe that no one cares we have a tiny bit of hope that someone does. I am not trying to cry for help or anything like that I just hope that my thoughts and opinions do not go out into the virtual world and get lost in a sea of advertisements and other useless things. This is already what happens to this microscopic blog and I don't deny it. Who wants to here the thoughts of a teenage nobody that lives in a small rainy town and does not have a British accent or something like that going for them? So what can I do? Only let that tiny hope brood in the corner a while until someone fuels it. Thank you non existent followers for listening :) Not having the best day if you haven't noticed.

I believe the people that have lived in this area share common needs (beyond staying dry) that have created a character, and culture worthy of preservation.
