reader mail:
i don't understand what the point of your website is. however i am very interested, please explain.
my first response to this was:
why does it have to have a point?
but then i felt a little bad about that, it was brusque and uncommunicative so i wrote another one:
i am sorry, that was a bit abrupt. i was in the middle of working on something and got distracted by your email, but now i think i am grateful because it is a good question and i think i will write about that instead.
the point is...well, there is no real point. i feel like so much of the modern mind set is results oriented, i.e. that it is only worth doing something if there is a tangible payoff. and since i am not selling or promoting anything what could the possible payoff be right?
well for me it is the pleasure of having a space that is completely mine to define as i please. i can take pictures and post them for nothing more than the enjoyment of it. i can write (or not as the case seems to be these days) in my blog and potentially reach thousands of people i have never met for no reason other than it is nice to communicate what you are feeling and it makes me feel more connected to the human race. occasionally it is that feeling that is the only thing standing between me and becoming a complete misanthrope. i have also made a few very good friends from it, that alone makes it worth something.
oh and it allows me to perpetuate the illusion that i am secretly an artist when really all i am is a housewife from connecticut.
