What is the value of personal significance?
What if my blog posts are so personally significant to me that they aren't more than diary entries and no one else identifies with them because they are too specific to me? Well, that would mean that very few people, if any, would like what I write. But it's impossible to tell if that's the case now, because I just started blogging and I don't have many followers.
So, do I try to write posts that reflect what I see other people writing about? Should I write things that I think the world will want to read? Or instead do I stick to my plan and just write about whatever is fascinating to me today?
Surely if I find something fascinating, others will, too. I think the trick must be to write in a way that many other people can identify with. So it's the style of writing that needs to be mass consumable, not necessarily the content itself. But, again that is a theory that is not really testable or provable for me right now.
Alan Watts said that sensible people get paid to do what they love. If so, then I think that there must be a way to turn personal significance into universal significance, and profit from it! But I don't want to ruin the original thing.
I want to clearly identify what it is that I like about art, music, and podcasts and condense all of that personal significance into something that many can enjoy. I almost typed "everyone" and then I realized that that would be an unreasonable goal...
