Blogging Can Reach People

When I first came in yesterday, I found an anonymous comment on my "Good Enough" post.   They said the following:
you have very real thoughts that resonate deeply with me. in fact, i feel that you are writing about my life, verbatim. i feel less alone from my own past traumatic experiences and only recently realized that i too was caught in such self-destructive romantic relationships. thank you, sister of a parallel universe. :) may we find peace, happiness, and a love that is healthy and real.
 I'd like to thank this poster so much for sharing that with me, and I truly hope to hear from them again.  It is so amazing to know that something as simple as writing out my emotions could touch someone else.  Isn't that part of the reason we all blog?  With the hope that someone out there will communicate with us and it will reach someone?

I wanted to cry for a moment as I read this comment, first because I hurt for someone who feels like this, and second because something I said actually touched something.  All of these pages I fill daily aren't a waste of time; there are people out there who will truly be affected by them.

So to you Anonymous, I say this:  I don't know who you are, or what is going on in your life, but I love you and wish you all the best.  I hope with everything I have in me that you find what you're looking for in life, and that you find peace with what has happened in the past.  Please keep in touch, even if you wish to remain anonymous, for I'd love to hear from you.  Should you like to talk at any time, I'm more than happy to make a new friend out there and offer any support I have to give.  You can find my email in my blogger profile, or by clicking on the link I just provided. I hope to hear from you.

  2. Oh I do hope this commenter visits you again! Blogging can be so amazing! I have someone that follows my blog that does not have a blog of her own. I didn't even know she was a follower till she commented one day, and now she comments fairly often! She is such a sweet, kind soul, and has left me such wonderful messages! It makes me feel good about what I blog about, ya know? :-)

  5. Ok, sorry my first comment was dumb. I meant to say that I love it when people comment on your blog, because it gives you the sense that what you say and feel is important and that you are not the only one that feels this way. Through blogging you are able to reach people that normally you would never meet, and connect with.

  6. agreed:)
    same reason why i can't leave my blog too--because of those people who spare time reading my posts..
    It feels great when we realize someone in the other side of the planet was touched through our writings..it gives us the encouragement to express more..

  12. Indeed, we write so we can give vent to our innermost feelings and when the feelings are true they always touch souls. I had written something similar in my comments on your previous post. Your posts have always had a profound impact on me because they are so real and portray every day life of a common man. So, please keep writing these wonderful posts always and I shall be privileged to read them all. Cheers!
