IF YOU ARE FRUSTRATED WITH THE BLOG SYSTEM READ THIS…

There’s a stigma I don’t like. And maybe this sounds selfish… (it is) but I don’t usually like doing things for other people.

I find it interesting though that the one post I wrote that got put on Nelson’s favorite posts paper was the one I didn’t write for myself.

So I guess I’m not calling people out, I guess I’m calling out the system.

– The system that encourages people to write for the reader.

– The system that encourages people to write “better.”

But who are we to judge someone else’s thoughts, and emotions. Because isn’t that what we all are writing anyways?

Idk what my goal is with saying this, because I feel like the system is right, regardless of how unfair it can feel sometimes.

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t care what people think about my writing, or about how many likes or comments I get, (and that number is low to none.) Yet, I still make it onto Nelson’s favorites…

Maybe instead of selecting a few posts to praise in class, everyone could choose one that impacted them, Not even necessarily one that they thought had good writing, just a post that stood out to them. Then maybe, in class we could share the posts that we enjoyed. More opportunity for people to feel less unnoticed.

Combining that with Nelson’s favorites could be a good thing.

And maybe by doing that we improve the system instead of abandoning it. Because I think the system is right and good, maybe it’s just the culture I hate. Maybe I hate the fact that I get 2 likes on a post and a comment maybe once every 5 posts… (shout-out @Oracle-Mediator and @father-jude) But maybe we don’t need to change anything, and maybe it’s just me. 😂

Now back to my regular posting of random thoughts and ideas that prolly don’t make sense to any of you but I like to post them dammit.

Rghh

AND DAMMIT IT FEELS GOOD TO BE SHOUTED OUT IN CLASS DAMMIT
