There was a postcard posted on postsecret yesterday, reading: "You think I'm reading your mind... but really, I'm just reading your blog.". This thought scares me, but I love it at the same time.I know there is a vast glass ceiling on blogging, where you can end up getting some really creepy people following your blog, but then there are thoughts like this too. It kind of makes me think that although they can't quite know what your thinking, there is something that happens inside of their mind where they want to be able to know what you want in life without them explicitly telling you. It would make me really happy to be able to have the thought of someone I like reading the words that I often put a great deal of thought into, it's not that I don't know whether or not people are reading my blog, since I do know a few of my classmates and my teacher are reading it, but honestly, beyond that, I have no clue whether or not anyone else is reading it. The thought of people I don't know, or friends that I don't know are reading it scares me and gives me a sense of accomplishment at the same time. While I do have the thought that someone creepy may be reading it, there is also the thrill in finding that someone believes what I am writing is interesting enough to keep reading.
Today I feel like I'm not doing too well in my writing. I feel like the flow isn't doing as well. I didn't get too much sleep last night, but it shouldn't of been as little to affect my ability to write. Maybe the thought of someone I don't know reading this is clouding my thoughts. Don't worry, although this post is short I will be starting another momentarily, maybe a fresh start will give me a better handle on my writing and the thoughts that are occupying my head.

Sometimes processing by writing is a good way to tap into our best writing. It is interesting to imagine that our words might pique someone else's interest- both in the semi-creepy sense and also in the cool sense.
