connection

this should pretty much explain why i want to try blogging – lately with the level of distraction i get, it’s often difficult to finish a thought and moreover to remember it later. writing thoughts or thinking about writing them is a good motivation to keep them there in the head. i am writing for myself, so why share it? because of this warm feeling (happiness feeling?) when you relate to someone or when you feel someone else relates to you. there are moments when someone else says something and you know you felt this exact feeling, or went through exact same thing, or thought this exact thought exactly the same way, or maybe you felt it differently but you know you now have a connection with this other person.

this person may not be your friend, it may be someone you know, and then you pay more attention to this person. what is not so fun is when you can relate to a character, not to a real person, and if it happens repeatedly. that just makes you feel more weird and lonely. but why does it happen, that we often relate to these fictional characters, celebrities, etc. more than we relate to the people around us?

well, obviously people around us are not as fun and interesting as celebrities. also people around us often have different interests. but with the characters - the characters are complete. each word, behavior, thought of a character is thought by people, corrected by them, it does not have to happen in a moment. you relate to a character because it exposes itself on many levels, it is there to be shared with you.

people around us don’t do that most of the time. people around us act inadequate (i should revisit this subject from a different angle). we talk to people mostly about day to day routine. the routine is boring, it makes the people we talk to about it boring. but sometimes someone says something and it is above the routine, and you can relate, and it makes you happy. and we should try to be happy, and i’ll try to blog.
