random thought – insignificance

I know you’re sick of my entries tonight… but I seem to be in such a writing mood! I just have a quick little random thought…

First of all, I love all my readers dearly… don’t get the wrong impression! (And I love to BE a reader of all of you as well!) But when I first came on OD, I remember being very intimidated by people very similar to myself. Those people who had sooo many entries and soo many readers. I used to find a diary and read it… then see SUCH a long list of note-leavers at the end that I’d feel insignificant! Why would such a person possibly need ANOTHER reader, ANOTHER note??? I always thought they were hogging all these readers, while I sat with my diary for months with very few notes. *with the exception of some of my long-time OD friends :)*

Now I’m one of those people? I went back about 3 or 4 entries, and it seems like the notes at the end take up so much space! Ahh, I adore you all… but I wonder who reads without saying anything? I’m guilty of it sometimes as well, but I do wish people don’t find themselves overwhelmed in a sea of a community they don’t know… it takes time. I’ve been on here for 13 months… I have 345 entries… and plenty of lovely readers with awesome diaries!

Once more tonight, I’m
