Another night shift over and done with…… arrived home and checked my email to find something that made me smile. One of my visitors (Louise) has written a little “opinion” of DC and P’s site in her blog. It’s in Swedish, so she very kindly sent me an English copy.
For five hours I read the blogs of Becky and P. In short; Becky, 23 years old, somewhat hypocondriac, work shy, and your average panic-attack-girl. With a really tough and sad background. P, her ever working and struggling boyfriend. Their ups and downs in a quite poor, struggling and well…ordinary life. But it is certainly a life. I cannot explain my fascination about these people. On the other hand a lot of whining (but understandable) about the hardships, and yet something very tough that never quits however hard it is. At the same time a kind of self centered world picture takes over hand. In just one blog is ‘the world events’ ever mentioned, else it is just their lives evolving around the car, teller, pet food, and horrendously stupid bosses. It is very naked, very personal, very gripping. First I thought them to be quite naive and ignorant people. But the more I read the more wrong I was. Thoughts of class structure came to my mind. Struggle for life. Who the heck has the time and effort to philosophy about Nozick or Nietzche when you don’t know if you even have money for cat food.
I don’t really realise how we look to people visiting this site, but what Louise has written has given me an eye-opening idea. I’d like to say thank you by asking those of you who read this to spare a few minutes at least and visit her site. It’s not all in Swedish. 😀
