Free Spirit
In high school I was part of a clique from day one to the last day of my last high school exam. I was never a day without my friends. At college I started feeling a bit more like spreading my independent wings.
Then came distance studies through UNISA. I always ticked the box for not wanting to be contacted by other students.
Even now years later, I hate being identified by a group. I try my utmost to be as independent and individual as possible. If some group wears pants, I will wear a dress. If the group wears a hat, then I will not.
I’m a bit of a rebel without a cause, unless being rebellious can be considered a cause.
During January 2008 I started blogging at blogs.24.com and met some fantastic people. My problem was that I refused to visit the blogs on the top 10 of everything blog related.
At first!
Eventually I gave up. The solicitation for comments and votes became too much.
Now here I am an independent blogger on the South African blog scene and therefore the worldwide blog scene. A place filled with cliques and mutual backslapping and self congratulation.
Not to mention Facebook and Twitter and LinkIn and goodness knows what else.
I’m hyperventilating as I type this.
High school all over again.
