Hey Just Because I Don't Post...

Dear you, Reading This,

There are only so many hours in the day. Of course you knew that. We always assume that if we love things, we'll take the time to do them. I often find that too strong an attachment to an activity can persuade me in the opposite direction. Take this blog for instance. I actually like writing in it. It's cathartic. It boosts my literacy and typing ability. My thoughts appear to me more streamlined and focused when typed out. If all of that is true, then why haven't I written here in over a month?

I think it has something to do with wanting this to be good. I want people to be able to come back to this website and look at every piece of content and say "Man he sure knew what he was doing!" Nobody needs to though.

When I was a young lad of about 12, my father took me to his friends wedding. At the reception, everyone was dancing and I was feeling awkward and nervous. In an attempt to get me to loosen up, my dad asked me to tell him how many people had blue shirts on in under 5 seconds. I couldn't. The whole point of the exercise was that no one is really paying that much attention to you so you might as well just dance like nobody's watching.

I don't know if that lesson still applies in the world of the internet. Take for instance this inspiring story of a man who had tons of people get his back after he was body shamed. That would be downright inspiring to me if I hadn't found the link by typing "dance shame guy" into google. That guy's whole life in my eyes is "dance shame guy." The internet could do this to any of us at any time. That can be kind of scary because you don't know how it will judge you. I Think if this could teach us anything it's "they may notice you dancing, but they want you dancing." The world needs a hero. Even if the one we get is dance shame guy. At least we won't be ashamed to dance.

As Always, Thanks for reading,
