Relevance – “Who Are You? Why Are You Posting?”

I’m a nobody.
That’s not me being all dark and depressed. Nor am I having an existential crisis. It’s just a fact.
Other than my close group of friends and family, who know me quite well (I would assume anyway), I am nothing to anyone else.
I am not of importance to their lives, I’m just a face in the crowd, not even worthy of a memory.
I am a nobody. And that’s okay.

Today’s discussion turned toward our relevance in relation to the internet and the world wide web. Why am I posting this? Is anybody even reading it? Doubtful.
But that doesn’t matter. While what I post to this blog may not be relevant or even seen by anybody else, it is relevant to me.

What I say on here really means nothing, because I’m not relevant to anybody really; even those family and friends mentioned before wouldn’t find me relevant online.
What I have to say has no weight behind it, or any influence on anyone.

What I’m saying (or typing) right now is also completely irrelevant. I’m talking complete shit. This is just some random stream of conscious. Where each thought that comes to mind is blurted out. It barely has anything to do with Network Media.
Am I doing it so I look good with my endless stream of blog posts?
Maybe.
But also because I’ve been given this tool, so why not use it? Maybe my continued bullshit will somehow, one day make me relevant.
Unlikely.
