If I were to start a blog...

I started this morning asking myself, “If I were to start a blog, what would I write about? Would anyone actually read it? Will they judge me? Do I even care if they do”? So I guess I’ll start my blogging experience by answering my own questions.

1.       If I were to start a blog, what would I write about?

Blogging is the 21^st century’s social media replacement for writing in a journal. It’s funny, people used to be so private when writing in a journal.. or dare I say it – diary! It used to be shameful to record your innermost thoughts and to reminisce over your own history. But Oh! how the times have changed. Every Tom, Dick, and Harry knows that everyone posts every minute detail of their lives to the world, expecting them to care - checking into places and posting photos to multiple sites with a single touch.

So should I jump on the bandwagon? I usually don’t do things that I feel are important enough to society to post them. Now I am stuck with the decision to actually do things worth sharing, or keep doing me and share my life anyway.. I’m sure you all would be enthralled by my stories regarding my family, illnesses, lifestyle, and my cats.

2.       Would anyone actually read my blog?

I actually just laughed at myself after thinking about this. I am illustrating the epitome of narcissism by considering to spend the time and effort to make this public, and then expecting you to actually take time out of your day to read my words. I suppose that if I give enough craps to unload my brain every once in a while, at least someone might read the regurgitation and appreciate a piece of it here or there.

3.       Will they judge me?

Definitely. I can name at least 10 people off the top of my head that will follow this link just to see what kind of judgments they can make about what I’m doing with my adult life. Hey, guys! Suck it, I’m fabulous.

4.       Do I even care?

Absolutely not! I welcome you all (specifically those of you who know, immediately, that I am referring to you) to inquire about the trivial things I might say, to close the tab that this blog opened up, to call your friends over to see just how insignificant you think what I am doing is. After all I have been through, I can guarantee that the amount of cares that I do not have for your negative opinions greatly exceeds your numeric imagination.

But to those of you that are genuinely interested, don’t know me and would like to, or want a sneak peek into life according to Cassie, my brain is yours to pick.
