Everything is content

I listened to an interview with the Swedish journalist and writer Cecilia Hagen. One of the things that came up was the weekly column she's writing for a big newspaper. Personal everyday observations. The interviewer compared it with a quote by American writer Nora Ephron: Everything is copy. True. Even more so when it comes to blogging. A blog post doesn't have to be extraordinary. It's usually more interesting to read something extra ordinary. Personal reflections from someone living in a completely different part of the world. Interesting observations from someone living in the same city as you. A stranger's way of dealing with the same struggle you're going through. Take this post. Just some quick thoughts after having listened to a podcast. It's hardly "content" in the traditional sense. Yet, here it is. Small thoughts shared with the rest of the world. No pressure, no perfection. Content or not, I feel content having the freedom to post it no matter what.
