Choose Your Words Wisely

When you write a new post, what do you write? Before and after you've finished, do you wonder how many people actually read what's written? I have found that people typically fall into a few categories:

-Herpes-Glitter poster: Remember, glitter is herpes of the arts and crafts world; it never goes away. This type of poster never leaves your feed.
-Blue moon poster: A person who rarely posts anything original. Until the person actually says something, you forget about him/her.
-Diarrhea poster: A person who only posts things with the goal of putting a damper on someone's day.
-Verbal vomit poster: This person posts TMI every time!
-Socialite poster: Think of this person as the networking guru. S/he always knows what's going on. Think of the person who's involved with summer camp or greek life.
-Harvard poster: Anytime this person posts, s/he intends to brag about how great his or her life is. This person brags about having a maid, insists on showing off material possessions, or must share details about the upcoming European vacation.
-Car wreck poster: Any time this person posts something, you can't help but look. Even though you say you will never read another post from the person, somehow you give in (i.e., the annoying classmate or drama king/queen co-worker).
-President poster: If a political issue emerges, this person will ALWAYS have an opinion. You may love it or hate it, but the person will insist on posting a status, blog, or other form of literature for all to read.
-Broken record poster: You will see the same types of posts from this person (i.e., the gym maniac, parenting-related posts, work related posts, etc.).
-Miscellaneous poster: This person doesn't have a rhyme or reason for posting anything. The most random posts or eclectic group of posts will appear.

Regardless of the type of poster you are, people do read what you write. For a while, I questioned if more than 1 person actually read my blog. Today, I found out that people read it, even when I have no idea. Earlier in the day, my phone decided it would send a random text message to every person in my contacts list. One person asked if it was intended or not. After the communication I had regarding the quirk, she informed me that she loves my blog. Let's just say I was beyond excited! The lesson I learned is that whether the message I send is positive or negative, the words will still be seen. If I could share a piece of advice to anyone in the world, it would be  to choose your words wisely. They will leave a lasting effect. Make sure the lasting effect is a positive one.
