On Blogging
So I was thinking last night and I began to feel like people are taking my blog a little too seriously. Ok, so you all know I have been through some tough stuff these past few weeks. I, myself, have taken my blog a little too seriously as well. It was not until recently that I stopped and thought, "Hey this is just a hobby, I shouldn't stress over it so much". Well, this post here is to tell you that I am not a professional in anyway. My book "reviews" are not professional. I don't intend to make that my profession. I do them because I love reading and that's it. I don't aspire to go write some fancy review on the New York Times and whatnot. Seriously, I don't. If I aspire to something, it is to be a librarian. A children's/YA books librarian, to be exact. Yes, did you know that I can actually study that in college? I'd like to throw that out there to those who keep saying trash about the genres I enjoy. I read them because I love them AND I can end up helping kids in the future. :) I think I've made that clear countless times. Why do I point this out? Because I've noticed that some people in my college, to be exact, have been commenting about my "poor reviews". You know I do notice when you're familiar, right? It is very much noticeable, you know. Anyhow, that's it. I just blog for fun. But it hasn't been fun lately. In fact, I kind of cried a lot last night after receiving a bunch of negative comments about my Rant Video (on different places). I guess I'm not supposed to have an opinion, after all. Isn't Reading subjective though? I think I do have the right to rant when I DON'T enjoy a book or a genre. Or a literary movement, for that matter. So anyhow, this here post is to tell you that if you don't like the YA genre or any other genre I read and you still somehow lurk my blog and videos, please don't bother talking to me. You obviously don't respect my taste for books, and I find it rude to have to argue with anyone over something I do for fun-- especially on the internet.
Btw, I was channeling Kingsley in my Rant video. Look him up and you'll understand why I kept saying "Seriously" and such. I made that video for fun and it ended in something not fun.
