love passionately and often and laugh...

Where do we go for the kind of freedom we long for, the unrestricted right to feel, do and say what ever we want. We go right here in Blogger Heaven.
Where else but in the world of blog, could a person express their self so freely. Where else but in the world of blog could a person live out their hopes their dreams, share their happiness and sadness and even live out their fantasies.
No where, but in the blogosphere, and a sphere it is, of our own little society. A society of people who have the total freedom to be anything they want to be. To say anything they want to say. It's your blog to do what ever you want.
I've seen a lot of things since I've been coming here, the good, bad, happy and sad. You've made me laugh and cry, sometimes at the same time.
Oh excuse me did I say seen, instead of read, was that incorrect? I think not, for I have seen your wonderful personalities shine through your words many times. Wonderful words that seem to have wings and take flight so that others can find them and enjoy.
A while back I came upon a site where two of my blogger friends were having a heated debate it made me stop and think.
In the past if I was asked why I liked to blog, I would have to really give it some thought. I would answer everything from I like to write, to I like to meet people, to I like to read other peoples views, and yet it always felt like something was missing. Why was it such a hard question to answer? None of those really totally was what I was feeling, yet I couldn't put my finger on it. It took running into this heated debate to make me realize why I blog.
Suddenly it all became so clear, if someone should ask me why today, it wouldn't be a problem. The answer for me would have to be Freedom.
I blog for the freedom (he most beautiful word in the world next to love) speech. For the freedom of being able to say what I feel, what I like, and what I want, without fear of reprimand. I blog because I love to blog. I blog because I can. I blog for the love of freedom!
To those of you who were here before me, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your world and to those of you who are thinking about being a blogger I'd like to say --jump in with both feet -- you will love it!

Ahhh freedom.. Sounds great, sadly that only really works well with anonymous blogs - censorship is still alive and well on the net, but I can still relate to what you're saying despite that.
A blog really does distill the essence of yourself - or at least one facet of the complicated being that is you - and that's what people like, everything is so much simpler on the net.. -

Right Vics. Though anonymous blogging is yet another discussion (with many pluses and minuses) but I have observed anonymous bloggers saying things that they might ot be able to say on face or with identity.

Thanks for the comments at my blog. I have 4 and each has a different layout. The one you saw is experimental with one post at a time. Thanks for visiting.

Great words!
Just to extend your idea - and the word "love" you have already mentioned - I would say
Blogging is like inviting your quests home: you make your home nice, you cook and serve something and we all enjoy! -

My blogs are a resource for my writings. More often, I blog informally, sharing impressions, generating ideas to see how they invoke reactions, keeping track of others’ work in the fields of my interest, or simply ranting or pointing out things that come to my attention.
Also, I use blogging as a platform to prune ideas. This is where I meet others and share experiences. “I am neither geek, nor nerd, I am not a hacker, a phreaker, a programmer or any variety of technoid dweeb.”
