That Popular Feeling

I've never been one of the "popular girls". I'm also not at all someone who seeks fame or fortune. I never wanted to be class president or Miss Something-or-Other. Never wanted my photo in the newsletter or to be "famous one day". I'm happy being in the background, doing a great job supporting those whose face is in the newsletter and whose name is above the door.

While I love taking photos, I have no interest in being the subject of them myself. I want to be appreciated for what I do and what I contribute, not for my familiar face or the power of my name. I want my work and my actions to speak for me!

Having a blog, a Facebook page and an Instagram account (Oh, and Goodreads and Twitter and who knows what else!) feels strange and natural at the same time. Strange because even though I don't sign my post with my real name or have a mugshot on display, I am putting a lot of information about myself online for anyone to read and view, and for anyone to use or misuse as they see fit. Natural because as quiet and reserved as I can be, I do very much have my own opinion and my own way of viewing the world and I enjoy sharing it!

I enjoy it when people read something I write or like a photo I've taken. I still have no interest in being "popular" or famous or known to millions, however I like sharing my world and my opinions about it, and I hope that will never change!
