Mirror
I've noticed one thing that occurs to many bloggers. The true personality of the blogger and the online facade is totally two polar opposites. Not entirely factual but this occurence is found likely among a few bloggers. Back in my 'heydays' when apparently I was one of the 'prominent' blogger, I realized in my blog I'm a cooler person. I seemed to have a social life, cool editor boyfriend, money, popularity and looks among other things. The truth, however, is far from the picture I've painted.
Beneath that cool exterior was an insecure girl with many wants in life. Want to be popular, want to be pretty, want to be wanted. Selfish desires.
Ever since I've retired from 'high-profile blogging', it became my turn to observe how these 'bloggers' portray themselves in a light that is different from who they really are. A mixture of pity and empathy is what I feel for them. Imagine looking into a mirror and not seeing who you are but someone else. You forget your true self and you're caught up in the glamor and the fabulous life you've crafted. You're in the limelight and you're the director of your movie and even though you think you have an audience, the truth is the only audience you're pleasing is yourself. Why don't you look into the mirror, access the situation and face the truth?
