Writing is an action that can be described as free. One can freely write whatever they want and express themselves through it. It can also lead one to feel as if they are freeing themselves of emotion. This particularly rings true with blogs. Blogs can be found all over the Internet now relating to every topic the mind can think of. My two favorite blogs to view are PostSecret and Perez Hilton. Both are extremely different from one another, but however are still very intriguing.
PostSecret is a blog spot where people anonymously send in postcards revealing their secrets; the secrets vary from funny, to personal, to joyful, to somber. The secrets that are shared are endless, and one can discover a secret, or two, that might even pertain to themself. I find myself routinely checking the secrets every Sunday since new ones are posted then. PostSecret is enjoyable for me, because having the courage to post something so personal to oneself for the world to see has to be one of the most freeing feelings experienced. Putting yourself out there for everyone to view is not only liberating, but truly courageous, and it takes a very strong person to do so. Seeing all the postcards sent in reminds me of how unique each one of us is, but how even the most simple of aspects, like a fear, or experience, can bring us together.
Perez Hilton, not to be confused with Paris Hilton, is a fella who created a blog spot about celebrities, and their crazy Hollywood lives. Being in the public eye comes with a price; Perez Hilton reminds celebrities of that, and how their actions can be critical to their careers. The blog talks of a variety of matters, from where a celebrity is sighted, to what one celebrity did the night prior. It also has certain posts talking of celebrity charities and events that have been set up to benefit a certain society, for example Stand Up to Cancer. I find Perez Hilton to be extremely entertaining, because it's crazy how some celebrities act, and portray themselves in the lime light. It also reminds me of how I do not want to act once I'm a famous singer.
PostSecret and Perez Hilton are two extremely different blog sports. PostSecret has millions of postcards, while Perez Hilton talks of the million dollar lives of celebrities. I feel as if people who enjoy the deeper level and emotion of writing, would enjoy PostSecret. And, if you enjoy the Hollywood life, than you'd enjoy Perez Hilton. I find myself to be a person who enjoys multiple lifestyles and writing styles, so both blog spots are entertaining for me.
