I would like to keep going. I enjoy writing for my blog, and I think my readers truly enjoy the blog too. However, the blog is not achieving the goals that I set forth when I started writing. I wanted this page to open an avenue of communication that I only share with the closest of friends. I wanted a freedom of communication, the anonymity of my subject and reader to be maintained- while the ideas and the situations were discussed.
However the discussions have been nonexistent. Nobody takes the time and the opportunity to reflect upon the entry in the comments. I don’t know if my readers consider my last article to be the best or the worst, I don’t know if they approve of my ideas, or think they are the ramblings of a lunatic.
Again I would like to keep going, I would like to keep writing. However I’m not going to keep writing if nobody responds to my posts. So I ask you, the reader, one last time: if you enjoy this site, if you want to see more, if an idea strikes your core or raises questions, please share your reflection in the comments.
I’ve said before that comments are the lifeblood to this site, now I’m asking for a transfusion.
Sincerely,
Kyle
When I read this blog, I can often draw parallels from what you write about to my personal life, but struggle with the message you put across. I find myself wondering which of several statements you are making. Perhaps it just requires more careful reading.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the above about finding message in your posts. I think that it often seems contradictory or confusing. This is the nature of being human I suppose. I also am confused about the purpose as set forth by you above. If it is supposed to be a personal journal, or something for close friends, then why publish it to Facebook, why have posters about it in your Residence Hall?
ReplyDeleteSeeking statements from my writings is simply wrong. I don't want to influence the way you think-- I just simply want you to think. I don't present both sides of the argument, nor do I present the argument in whole. My writings are purposely left open ended so that you, as the reader, can draw your own conclusions. This is at least my goal-- sometimes I'm not as successful as I would hope.
ReplyDeleteThe difference between my readers and close friends are details. I want this to be big- I want to share my experiences and expand an avenue that I share only with my closest friends. See, I get satisfaction from feeling that I helped someone- so selfishly, I want to help more.
Is that necessarily wrong?
