This to me, is the most important post I have ever written. I want to talk about a few things that have literally changed my outlook on blogging and my life.

The main thing in blogging that makes it so special are the people you meet along the way. You have friends in real life and then you have your blogging friends. Is there a difference to you? It’s much like real life in the blogosphere; you have your good friends and you have many acquaintances. I have made some blogging friends that I have true feelings for when it comes to friendship. These are the same feelings I have for people in my everyday life, for they are real people and many of us forget that. Many of us try so hard for big numbers and high hopes of making it big, but don’t let that corrupt your heart.

When you get to know someone while blogging, in some ways, you get to know them in a very intimate way. I have people in my real everyday life I’ve known for years that I don’t know as intimately as I would had I met them through blogging. I think it’s because of the general nature of writing. We write things that often, we may not tell our friends in everyday life. Blogging allows us to get to know someone in such detail, aside from what normal conversation entails.

I actually thought today, of quitting blogging altogether. Press a button and boom, your blog along with all the wonderful people gone in one second. I did not do that. That is a weak and selfish thing to do. My friends out in the blogosphere deserve much more than that.

Remember, these people out here are people. They have feelings and trust me, you can be hurt from these people just like in your everyday life.

Many of us turn to blogging because of loneliness, and I am no exception. If we all weren’t lonely in some way we probably wouldn’t be blogging. Some of us need blogging to fill in that void. If you are a shy person like me, then blogging is very healthy. Yes, I am very shy. Here in the blogosphere I may not seem shy, but that is part of the magic of blogging.

Addiction: Blogging is without a doubt very addictive, so much so it has effected my everyday life. Don’t forget about the people in your real life because of blogging. This is why I am writing this post.

This post is dedicated to the best friend I have here in the blogosphere, Mariuca. I have learned a lot about myself from her. She is a true friend and I mean that sincerely. She is as my new friend Mike said, “The nicest person on the internet.” I wish her the greatest that life has to offer.

I want to thank some friends here that mean a lot to me:
