I am addicted to the Next Blog button.
There is probably an unwritten rule that I am breaking here - Thou shalt not idly flit through Blog Land.
But I can't help myself.
I used to play that game on trains: Who are you Strange Lady with your red dress and your pink stilettos? What keeps you awake at night? What is your deepest joy? Who do you laugh with?
Next blog... next blog...next blog...
A moment in someone else's life, a glimpse at family, hopes and dreams, passions, successes and failures... Just for a moment, a glance at a life I'm not living.
It reminds me how big and broad life is, how many choices there are, how many ideals and beliefs. And yet, it also makes me realise we're all living the same lives - as parents, spouses, siblings, sons and daughters, friends... We all want to love and be cherished, protect our children, laugh with our friends, work and play. We all have emotions and fears no matter where we live or what we do.
The world isn't quite so big when there's a Next Blog button.
lol I too have trouble with the next blog button. If given permission, I'd could probably waste a whole day "next blogging". It is very interesting to see the different blogs, different lives/interests being blogged and different layouts, colours and pictures used.
ReplyDeleteGlad I'm not alone! It's just fascinating to see what people are passionate about. Mind you, I feel like I'm half a step away from being a stalker!
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting and a great time waster. I have to be careful to not waste time checking out other people's blogs. I then go 'oh, if I can go fix my blog...."
