Beauty in Blogging

The beautiful thing about blogs is that, many times, they aren't. Often they're the ugly little rants and ravings of frustrated souls seeking release; ever more often they're the public disclosures of random days in the private lives of obscure people. That there exists a format to give seemingly insignificant individuals a global voice, with a slight chance of gaining some interested, or bored, or even like-minded audience; That in itself is truly a blessing. Because millions of writers who perhaps never have a decent shot at being published in any meaningful forum, at least now have a chance at absolution. Something of us lasts, for ever so slight a time; and that, of all things, is a gift we should be grateful for.
