The topics I choose to write about on my blog are generally pretty light and fluffy. I write about how my puppy is the cutest! puppy! ever! I write about being a newlywed. I post recipes and pictures of my adventures. I read other blogs, blogs that are emotional and honest and deep, and I am in awe. My family is big on denial. It has been a hard journey to get to a place where I can identify my feelings; I haven't yet reached the place where I can write about them. At least not coherently.
But then sometimes I can't help but write. Last week I felt tremendous stress at the thought of going back to my doctor. I wrote about it here on my blog and the response I got was amazing. The support means more to me than I can express. Though nothing is resolved - I still have to go see a doctor to get a prescription renewed (here in BC you cannot phone in refills - you have to physically go to a doctor to get a new prescription) and I still haven't found a new doctor - a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Your comments made me feel validated. Thank you for being such rockstars.

That's what we're here for. I've received countless supportive comments on my blog when they were needed as well. I read a long time ago on a blog that blogging is all about community...and we are a big community. We have our disagreements, but at the end of the day, we're "here" for each other. :)
ReplyDeletePlus, you rock (in that she tells funny stories and makes me laugh sort of way) and we hate too see anyone being mean to you.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the reasons I love blogging so much - you often see such a good side of people. It is really extraordinary, the way complete strangers will be so very supportive and kind.
ReplyDeleteGlad it helped! Sometimes it's nice to read through blogs and realize that other people are going through the exact same stuff you were at one time.
ReplyDeleteUm. Duh! Why wouldn't we support you. Are you not the most awesome person ever!? Silly question...
ReplyDeleteYou make me laugh all the freakin' time! So thanks for that!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm sorry it's not resolved, but glad you are feeling better!
man, i so know what you mean. i feel like my blog is 95% fluff too - i mean, i hope it's entertaining and all, but it's hardly thought-provoking - but whenever i have a REAL problem, or a REAL issue, the blogland steps up big time to save the day and pick me up.
ReplyDeletein instances like this, i think it's waaaay better to be a small-time blogger. i only have 1 quasi-troll on my blog, so it seems like such a safe haven full of loving support. i heart our corner of the internets.
Awwww! Actually, you're the the rock star. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are one of the most awesomest people ever and I hope that doctor learns the error of their ways* and completely validates your feelings.
ReplyDelete*Understands that the wrath of the over-thinker is no joke, just ask my husband, and they need to clean up their act or expect a huge can of whoop-ass, stateside-style. Word.
P.S. I am really white, but I can pull of "word" when I'm pissed.
