This is my Last Post (not)
I thought it would be an interesting topic for a post if I did a search with that string (minus the not). I found a few cool ones, but for the most part, it was the same old “This is my last post” on blogger, or with this University, etc. I was looking for the dramatic stuff. I run across these sometimes and they are profound. I recall one saying: “Don’t look for me for I will go into the night.” I mean that stuff is thick with romance don’t you think? I have found Blogging to be highly dramatic for many people, especially the online diarists. Seth Godin says on his blog to imagine the post you are writing is your last post. That thought never occured to me and it’s a good one.
I think blogging brings out another side of us that no one sees in the real world. I also think it’s a bit sad when someone swears off blogging because that side ought to be nurtured. I know blogging for me has left me much more rounded in my personality. I think of things in discussion that I never would have thought up before blogging. No this is not my last post and don’t hold your breath. I think I am the type to just let the blog expire before I concoct a romantic farewell.

I did a similar search and found one by a blogger who was blogging about their relationship falling apart, and the final post noted the end of the marriage and it apparently was the end of their blogging as well.

That is sad. Blogging is a doorway into so many lives.
