Many people have blogs about current events, hobbies, politics, pop culture...mine is about my thoughts. Who am I to assume that anyone is going to want to hear what I have to say or my perspective on things? It isn't self importance because this blog isn't for others-its for me. It is my spot in cyberspace to rant, rave, share, discuss whatever I feel like. Selfish, eh? Call it what you will, but it is actually really uncommon these days to say what you feel. Now I know it sounds trite to say how lucky I am to live in a society, country, time period in which I have the freedom to voice my opinions-but in all honesty, who really says what they feel or mean anymore? I am not sure if I am blessed or cursed with the no filter gene or as my co worker so politely puts it "she has no hair on her tongue." I am just cut from a different fabric than most folks in that respect.
Whether it be in a corporate setting or a social one, know one truly says what is on their mind. Not to say people walk on egg shells, but I think I am one of the rare people out there that really just say what they are thinking. There is a plaque in my dad's office that says "make sure brain is engaged, before mouth is in gear". Its not that I don't think about what I am saying, but I rarely mince my words in the fear of how it will be percieved. I don't mean to offend or hurt the person I am talking to, I am moreso speaking on what I want to say. Luckily for me, most people find this trait endearing, genuine, respectable-because if they didn't many circumstances would deem this behavior as inappropriate. Not for nothing, but there is a sociological thrill in watching people's reactions to something abnormal or inapproriate as it is. However unusual or not, saying what you mean and meaning what you say is rare. You could see this as me tooting my own horn or being concieted, or heck even narcissistic. It is what it is.
