It's hard not to compare others with yourself when you're thinking that person is "real" and not a celebrity. But the truth of the matter is that they ARE celebrities - one way or another. When they start getting noticed by tv channels, the news, magazines, then they are becoming semi-celebrity. Then in reality, you're no longer being compared to average day people, you're being compared to people with somewhat celebrity status. How many of us own that many clothes or a nice DSLR camera to take pictures with? Only a few percentage. I still blog for fun but at the back of my mind, I still think of what kind of articles will attract potential readers. <a href="http://watermoolen.xanga.com/" rel="nofollow">Watermoolen,,, Crystal*</a> .-= Crystal ´s last blog ..<a href="http://watermoolen.xanga.com/726434107/item/" rel="nofollow">Monday, May 03, 2010</a> =-.

But maybe it's that the blogs I subscribe to and my own are generally positive places and all about ladies (and some men) who have their own thing going on and a great sense of self or at least they manage to project it that way. I feel like I am less likely to judge them and more likely to appreciate what they are doing, their own style no matter what shape, size, style, color scheme, etc. It's such a warm community when it comes to complements and egging each other on with our posts and personal style. Of course, there are people who lean towards more negative comments but I find on the best blogs everyone sort of ignores the pointless negativity and quickly moves on the the next. To be fair, I have stopped following a few blogs because they seemed purely superficial and not genuine after I scratched the surface. some of them just weren't my thing as far as what they were posting at the moment and, yeah, ok it feels good to clear that stuff out because you probably weren't reading it anyway! Of course, I am only human and am occasionally envious of how so-and-so looks in that cute dress, how great his or her hair is, how cool it is that they have "x" item or get to travel to "x" place. But it's by no means hurting my self worth, they are helping me grow and showing me that I can do all of these things if I choose to. Maybe I am a romantic about it but why would I be involved if it wasn't a positive experience?! .-= reckless daughter´s last blog ..<a href="http://donjuans-recklessdaughter.blogspot.com/2009/10/be-my-valentino.html" rel="nofollow">be my Valentino :: ss10</a> =-.

Some blogs make me lose my confidence as they get more and more popular all of a sudden. And then I get down for not having enought time to post, research and work on mine. RSS cleanse is a good idea! I'll do it. Thanks, Barcelonette Yes, I sometimes feel like some of you. Some blogs make me lose my confidence as they get more and more popular all of a sudden.
