I’m that guy
I frequent blogs every single day. I want know my blogging friends thoughts, their challenges, about their families, their struggles … their life. I want to learn from their journey and I want to join them in their journey.
I get really frustrated when they haven’t written for a while or only write shallow thoughts that do not take too much time or energy. I get annoyed when nothing substantial is on the page … THEN I REALIZED … I’m that guy.
I’m that guy who doesn’t blog regularly.
I’m that guy who only shares “surface” thoughts.
I’m that guy who has bowed to the pressure of busyness and neglected to pause and share his journey with the rest of the world (at least with some dear friends and family).
I’m that guy who get’s frustrated at others without looking back at myself.
I’ll change – I will. Don’t get frustrated

I totally understand – as I am that person too. I also am trying to learn to share more of me (hard coming from a not-very-emotional + private person). It’s a challenge, but I think worth taking. Well, that’s what I’m telling myself.
