Let Your Blog Persona Rule?
Let Your Blog Persona Rule? I realised some thing extraordinary earlier. I believe in Dreamer. I don't mean I believe him to be real – of course he's real – he's me. Or at least part of me. No, I mean that I believe in him like a football team believes in its quarterback, like a boy believes in his big brother. Of course he makes mistakes, he isn't perfect. But he knows how to handle things. I can always turn to him when I need confidence or inspiration. I don't think I could ever have asked GG in if it weren't for Dreamer. Dreamer flirts with girls and they smile. He knows how to make love, he can be outrageous, but he's in touch with his emotions too. He can even do male bonding when he absolutely has to. And because I created him, I can be him. It's so liberating. He isn't a fiction, everything about him is real. He's just the intense, uncensored, playfully inquisitive side of my personality, without any of the mundane day to day stresses that make up the rest of my life. He doesn't get involved in my day to day concerns or my hobbies; they don't matter to him unless there's a woman involved. Whatever we are doing, he just lives in the moment, lets it absorb him, like a slice of bread soaking up gravy. Sometimes when I go out, I am Dreamer, walking down the street. And it isn't hard to do, because he's there, somewhere inside me all the time. He doesn't worry about money, or care if he should be working. He just doesn't have to deal with the difficult stuff in life. Except when he gets his heart broken and I prefer not to let him remember that too much. Do you think you're affected by the power of your on-line persona? I've been reading these blogs for a while, and now I think about it, I'm sure that some of you are. But not to your detriment. In blogs I have followed, I have seen self-doubt turn into confidence, shyness swell into sexuality and hope take root in the mess left behind by despair. Be bold, like you are in your posts. Give the truth of yourselves to more people, let them read your life like we read your blogs. Let your inner Dreamer dream. Just don't let him take your credit card shopping, or give him the keys to the DeLorean! |

I think that when your persona is one that is essentially you but 'more' ( in my case much more chattery and less shy ) that the online can bleed in and infuse the real with the cleaned up real. And I have seen some people truly learn and gain confidence - especially when they are able to see that the persona was in there all the time ... It's funny what you can learn and discover when you really aren't concentrating on that part.

It's a lovely kind of high-strung hard-headed crazy 'Nic, I'm glad that's the real you.

It has been good to see the gradual change in your blog over the years Sassi. I'm not sure I get the credit card in the freezer reference though, lol.

Being completely in the moment in any context is the key,...working on overcoming this past fashion of multi-tasking which draws concentration away from any one thing and splits it across several,...not fair to any one person or activity,...success in any venture will require dedicated attention how else do you get all the nuance and savour the flavour of every single second, taste, sound, sensation? Thanks for this post Good girls go to heaven,....Bad girls go EVERYWHERE! I love to travel Come visit my blog tigger678902

Yes, I know what you mean, I often find myself thinking "it's not easy being me," lol.

Tigger is and always has been me,...she is ultimately more me than the me most of the world knows, we share the same irreverent charm,..the same brattish tendency,...the same warmth depth an generosity of spirit,..but she is not forced by societal mores to hide or try to hide the fact that she thoroughly enjoys sex and not just that of the traditional garden variety,...but that she is very interested in sampling the whole box of chocolates,...though she gets harder and harder to reign is as she gets older,...her inner rebel resurfaces Good girls go to heaven,....Bad girls go EVERYWHERE!

I love you Bubbles!

That's very much how I feel about Dreamer - I am him, but less so, and also more somehow.

Well of course I don't have the real you to compare it with. I wasn't suggesting that people all have some sort of fictionalised on-line persona - obviously some may have, but most of the people I blog with seem to be blogging true to themselves. But maybe it lets us express feelings which would otherwise be hidden, and I have noticed that things and attitudes I blog about as Dreamer, have begun to have more effect on my everyday life.

Lol, yes, it's okay Synn, I don't think I misunderstood, I was just elaborating, as usual! I like the brash humour, don't tone it down for me. But I'm trying to get a feel for whether it is just me, or whether you too might feel that something you have done on line - going on cam say - might later influence something you do in real life. I think being Dreamer on line has crept more and more into my real life. That's because it is a part of me that I have sometimes kept too tightly under control maybe, lol.
