“So, what’s your blog about?” “Well, it’s about being a vegetarian, trying to be as healthy and happy as possible while still living a normal 25 year old life, and helping animals, and about the times I cry when I get overwhelmed with cleaning, and just about the times I cry, and about my migraines, and about holidays, and about my boyfriend and my cat, oh and it’s also about what I do on the weekends, and blah blah blah…”
How
am I supposed to explain all of that?
I
then try to say that it’s about all the people out there who ask me how I
manage to still have fun without eating meat, without wearing leather or fur,
and what I eat at restaurants and cookouts, and how do I even live without
meat? Finally I say, “you know what, just read the blog. It will all make
sense.”
This
was how last night went. Two of my friends, MacKenzie and Crystal (who both
happen to be bloggers as well, despite what Crystal might tell you!) and I headed
to Audubon Circle in Boston for the Boston Bloggers Holiday Meet & Greet. We
wore cute outfits, sipped on Prosecco, took photos, deleted them and then took
more, and mingled with some really interesting people. I’d say it was a
complete success, if you ask me, which I know you didn’t but I’m telling you
anyway since this is my blog and you’re reading it.
What
I found to be most entertaining about the night was meeting people who blog
about really different concepts. The people who had really enthralling stories
are the ones that I remembered best. It’s fascinating to me how many different ideas
and theories people have, and what’s even greater is the courage so many young
people have to write about their own lives. There are so many different shades of the blogging world. You know, it takes a certain bravery to open
yourself up to the world of blogging. Your life becomes an open book, and you
quickly find yourself interested in other people’s open books as well. What’s
remarkable to me is the group of people who write about things you wouldn’t
expect. When you ask them what their story is, and you think “wow, that is so intriguing” – that’s what stands out
to me.

next time, keep reading, and I suggest the following blogs for you:
