At the other end of the spectrum I read blogs that are deeply written with a lot of emotion poured in. I read them out of jealousy, wishing I could be that open and honest. I read blogs that make my breath pause and entices the little ache in the pit of my stomach.
My friend turned me on to http://pleasefindthis.blogspot.com. The moment I read this title, my only thought was "whoah" and it goes like this:
I NEED YOU TO UNDERSTAND SOMETHING. I WROTE THIS FOR YOU. I WROTE THIS FOR YOU AND ONLY YOU. EVERYONE ELSE WHO READS IT, DOESN’T GET IT. THEY MAY THINK THEY GET IT, BUT THEY DON’T. THIS IS THE SIGN YOU’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR. YOU WERE MEANT TO READ THESE WORDS.
The rest of the blog is just an orgy of words. Each time I read it, I wonder how other readers interpret it. Is it a man who is writing about the woman he lost and hoping she eventually stumbles upon this lonely blog, a love letter devoted entirely to her?
Maybe the blog was created for our own interpretation. Maybe it isn't for "her" or "him" to discover, but it's for us, pure poetry to indulge in. In any case, its brilliance was meant to be read and to make heart ache sound like perfection in limited sentences.
I also read http://birdykins.wordpress.com/. The first time I opened this blog, I read the latest post which was devoted to how she lost her virginity. It was so completely honest and I found myself reexamining the way I write, and how reserved I am. Here was this writer letting the general public in on one of the most personal stories of her life. Again, I took a step back and thought "whoah". The way this girl meshes words together still astounds me.
She reminds me of the writer I want to be, the writer I am in private when no one is watching and when there are no witnesses.
I can't wait to check these out! thanks for the good blog tips!
