Isn't it fascinating that people write blog posts about how (and about what) to write blog posts?
Is my writing style sarcastic or blunt? Witty or boring? I ask a lot of questions. Am I going crazy??
One of the websites I found listed dozens of one-word prompts.
"Friend" "Window" "Legacy" "Flow" "Incomplete" "Colorful" "Giggle"Human experiences and feelings fluctuate and differ from person to person. If people are like snowflakes in their uniqueness, then each life story is the same way! One word can mean a flood of good memories for one individual and a world of heartache for another.
"Mask"That is the word that especially stuck out to me while scrolling through these prompts.
In a culture that is stuck on expressing our own self-identity, we are surprisingly adept at hiding behind our masks that result from insecurity.
I am totally insecure. I wonder all the time what people think of me. Actually, that's one of the reasons I don't blog much! I feel very uncreative and deplete of well thought-out posts. What will people think of my attempts to write?
My insecurity is displayed in a host of ways - many different masks. My insecurity results in an inability to serve others. How can I concentrate on serving when my mind is in a constant rat race of trying to be better or feel better about myself?
Jesus. Was He hiding behind a mask? Uh, no. I don't think so. And guess what?? He was able to serve others better than anyone in history! Coincidence? I think not. ;)
Hmm, another one of my insecurities is that I don't feel equipped to end a thought. Or a post.
So I'll just pretend like I'm writing a cliff-hanger.
