I've heard so many times from people when I suggested that they start a blog, the following statements: 'Why should I blog?', 'I have nothing to say!', 'Who would want to read my blog?'. It shocks me to see so many people who don't realize that they have some amazing things to say!
Personally, I like to read the male blogger. I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but men who blog blog about things that are out there. They don't blog about their cute little puppy, the love of their life (guilty!), or Charlie Sheen ruining their TV schedule (guilty, again!). They write about LIFE, about things they're passionate about, things that if you took the time to sit down with them and take away all the fluffy stuff of dating or the hardships of providing for a family, you would see the actual man.
I find my Love, Chad, most interesting when I'm reading what he writes, because then I can see him. Not the him that the world sees, that being the guy who goes off to work, or who makes my heart soar when I hear his voice or see his face (see, there I go, again!). I see the man who has thoughts all his own, (who, for who knows how long) has thought about a topic and it just explodes on the pages of his blog when he gets motivated enough to write...or on the pages of the book he needs to finish ; )
Let's face it, the true man that you see across your table, sleeping on the pillow next to you, or the morsel that you're scoping out at the grocery store, really isn't that guy. The real guy is the one who, if you gave him an inch of space, he'd give you a mile of his mind and his soul, which would surpass even your greatest expectations.
Great blog Melissa, I enjoy your writing very much. Keep it up!!
