Ok, so I have to be honest here. I've been harping on bloggers for quite some time. As much as I do believe that there are some shining stars out there, there is part of me that feels bad for my generation. We have been raised to believe that we are exceptionally special and can do anything in the world. We've been the first to grow up hearing the word self esteem, that being a major priority in growing children. Instead of learning that we deserve praise for doing a good job, we learn that we are great no matter how much we suck.

My point....the generation has been made to feel that no matter what, we are important. The influx of bloggers aides that idea. Our words matter and our life is somehow great enough to warrant people's interest. That being said, it was a big jump to do this. Does it make me a hypocrite? Before I place that vulgar word next to my name, I have to think about intention rather than action. Am I doing this because I think that I'm important? No. I'd like to say that I am doing this for myself, to fine tune my writing skills while I focus introspectively.

And yet, I do hope that in some silly little way, someone could be inspired or maybe even a bit interested....that's my generation showing. I guess we'll have to see.
