Where AM I going?

I've been reading a lot of blogs lately, and I'm dismayed. My favorite kind of blog is a personal blog. I want to read a blog and feel like I'm getting to know the writer. I don't care about review blogs or giveaway blogs, and I'm not trying to start my own at home business.

I hate the 'I'll follow you if you follow me' thing that seems to so common, because I am not looking to collect followers. I could get tons of followers that way, after a rather large investment of my time... but who would actually read my blog and have something to say? Not that I am always comment worthy, I know. I would rather blog for..some kind of connection. Maybe that comes from my being so socially awkward in real life. Anyway, I love that there is support for bloggers from bloggers, I just wish that there was more of it for PERSONAL bloggers. Big sigh.

I'm not really sure what I want to do with this space I've made for myself. I know what I don't want it to be: a dumping ground for all my bitchery. I want it to be honest and real and interesting and relatable.

If you come across this post in the great big blogosphere, why do you blog?
