See the brilliance of logic is that it makes everything all make sense. That is what logic does. So without logic you can at times be left with a whole bunch of stuff that just doesn't make sense. Which in terms of one's life is not really all that great. I don't know about you but I tend to find some comfort when I know my life is making sense. It might only be making sense to me, myself and I but I don't mind. After all I am the one that needs to live with it.
Moving on though.
Earlier tonight I stumbled across this post over at My Mummy Daze For those too lazy (or time poor as I sometimes prefer) it is all about how blogging could easily be likened to high school. Strangely enough I had been thinking of something similar a little while ago. I still haven't found a way to share exactly what it is I have been thinking but it went along the lines of how I suddenly had feelings of inadequacy reminiscent of feelings I had at high school.
You see at high school I never really felt like I belonged. The cool people didn't want me and dare I say it aloud (please don't hate me) I wanted to think I was too cool for the nerds. Little did I know. The nerds were probably the ones that were too cool for me. At least they had the courage to be a lot truer to themselves than I was.
Whenever I started to feel comfortable with my place in the school and perhaps even myself something would happen to stuff it all up. I would say something that someone would take the wrong way. I would wear the wrong thing or I would think in a way different to the majority. Don't feel too sorry for me though as for as much as I let other make me feel out of place I still managed to make others feel the same way. All just a vicious circle really. One where deep down we are actually all the same just for some reason to scared to admit it.
Lately I have felt similar about blogging. Well sort of. At times I feel like there is a cool crowd. Blogs with lots of readers and followers and owners who constantly write the most awesome stuff that I really have thought of just never got around to sharing. I read lots of other blogs and look at them with blog envy. Be it design, content, or even a combination of both. They all seem to have something that I do not. I am not even sure I am close to the esteem I perceive others to have or if I even want to be. I just don't feel like I fit though. Much like my memories of high school. I just didn't feel like I fitted in anywhere.
What I find particularly interesting though is that this is how many other people feel as well. In fact lately it feels like every blog post I go to is something that talks straight to me. It leaves me sitting there wondering if perhaps I have actually found others on a similar (if not the same) wavelength. Which i must say is a bit nice. You see my feelings of not fitting are not just limited to high school and blogging. It is a feeling that has plagued me my entire life. Thankfully with age I have learnt to not let it worry me so much.
