Is This About Me?

So instead of writing me paper on the Berlin Conference on West Africa....I would rather read blogs and write on my own.
So I just read Donald Miller's post from today. He talked about his new book and how he basically just wrote about himself...Made me think of this thing.
--I write on here...and I write about myself. Why Do I write about myself?..I mean I'm not going to really write about anything else....the Berlin Conference isn't interesting me enough to even write a paper about it. lol.
Miller brought up a point about the fact that when he writes about himself he can be kind of vulnerable because he isn't looking someone in the face....but at the same time still seem like he still has it together.
--He also mentioned that when he writes he can write about something...and it kind of makes him think that someone else cares. And that maybe what he is writing about himself can relate to someone else.

**Confession: I write in a Journal and a Blog. My journal is very broken. It's filled with Praise and doubt. It's filled with Shame and Confidence. My Journal helps me work out my thoughts with God and myself. My Blog is just kind of here to unpack other things. There is some emotion...and I think that's there so maybe someone can just read what I am going through. Other things that I write about are just thoughts...and maybe someone else is thinking the same thing. Or it fit their life as well. Then maybe there is a discussion that happens later in person or through comments that is pulled from a post.

--Why Do I Read Other peoples Blogs?
I think that sometimes I just get sick of myself. I'm really not the type of person that in a conversation just wants to talk about myself. In all honesty I'm not really confident enough to. and Also I don't really have great things to say....or have something interesting that went on. And most of the time I just want to hear about the person..(depending on the person though).
--I also like hearing about what others are reading or thinking about....it makes me think of things myself...Like this whole post.
