How Many Blogs are Too Many?
I follow a truly unhealthy amount of blogs and I think it's making me depressed.
These little windows in to other people's lives that I perceive as better than mine are really starting to mess with my real life. I am often jealous of how these bloggers look, and how their houses are decorated, of how popular they are. I am also quite jealous of the fact that many of them are receiving a paycheck every month to provide relatively useless information. I find myself scoffing at their "expertise". I find myself irritated at their excitement over petty things. What used to entertain me and make me feel part of a community, now makes me feel like a useless outsider.
It would appear, based on my social media feed, that I have nothing in common with the majority of people. This can't be true. Am I really so in the minority with my thoughts? That itself is depressing.
