Vortexia's Secret

since last night's piece turned into a look into one woman's life and less about the topic, i left it there. but i also wanted to add that not being able to please everyone certainly goes for blogging as well. it's a bit frustrating at times. you start the blog for yourself. you gain readers. sometimes they know you in real life. sometimes they are strangers. sometimes they are both. if you are ADD like me and what you write about runs the gamut, then you'll never please everyone. i don't have what you would call a devoted blog. devoted that i write nearly every day i can get to a computer, yes. devoted to a certain topic like sex (obviously the most popular), drugs, music, college life, etc, no. it is a random stew of my life. and i like it like that. that's how i am in real life. i'm unpredictable. i'm random. i'm a little bit o' everything.

but i'm facing the reality here that i will not please everyone. some people like the "maybe" hook. others find it annoying. some like the pictures. some find them worrisome. some like the updates on my boobs growing. others don't. some like it when i talk about inner thoughts or passions or helping others or day-to-day life or rants or quirky ideas or whatever. but inevitably others don't like some of those things. many people get stuck in that. they want the fame or the praise and forget to write for themselves. and while it's nice and i would hate to think i'm losing readers because i'm writing for myself, that is the reason i started. and censorship never got anyone anywhere. so i'm just letting you know that i will remember that i'm doing this for me and all of you are just an added bonus... the icing on the cake. i do appreciate everyone, but i also figure that most of you who have gotten into the habit of reading me like my style and are fine with it continuing. the hard balance to maintain is to write for oneself yet maintain the audience. i think that's part of why tony is so popular... he has achieved that mix (and is willing to share his limelight). i hope i'm doing ok so far. let's keep it coming!


and i know i say this frequently, but i really do enjoy getting comments and emails and such, so if you want to do either, don't shy away from it!

P.S. Keep them in your prayers.
