In our society today...I think we sell ourselves short. We are afraid of looking foolish or saying something wrong and we hold it all in. We don't realize our worth and the contribution that we can make.
I recently got an e-mail from my Aunt, she likes my blog (yeah!) and says "wow, you have a lot to say". Do I? I could be wrong...but I think we all have a lot to say. I am not saying that everything is blog worthy - I have read some really crazy blogs and said "WTH" too, but I say kudos to the author!
I have been writing for as long as I can remember...always wanted to be a journalist, but never pursued it...So, writing/journalism is my thing. However, I think we all have a thing - some people it is raising their kids, some it might be their job, politics etc. Writing is cathartic for me...it is a way for me to be creative and to let go of stress etc.
We all have stuff do everyday (some more crappier than others), but none the less we HAVE to do it. If there isn't at least one thing on your list of things to do that is just for you...you need a new list! This goes the other way too...if you look at your list and it is ALL for you - then you need to do something for others...volunteer, help your grandparents etc.
I think it is important for us to discover our "things"! We should know why we do what we do everyday and really strive to include the things that make us happy/peaceful/content etc. I think we should all dive head first into our things! You know "just do it", "dance like no one is watching", "do your do" etc. So, (as if you needed my permission) - go forth and do your THING!!!
