Life of a #lifecaster - how I'm feeling about things.

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @JenSquard

Lately I’ve been feeling...uh...unimpressed?  I don’t know what the best way to put it is.  I feel kind of like I am floating on my own out here in the lifecasting world.  I haven’t talked to @JenFriel much since I called turned the tables with the calling out shenanigans (here), so I’m feeling a little alone.  Jen and I are so wildly different, which I think is why bringing me on works, but I often feel like a very ill-fitting piece to this machine.  

I am a definite nerd....but a different kind of nerd.  Not a tech nerd like so many seem to be, but a science nerd.  Unfortunately right now I’m not a practicing scientist, I’m a photographer, so nerding out over something that isn’t a major part of my day to day life is a challenge.    

While my posts get retweeted and shared on Facebook a bunch (which thanks for that, by the way!), I don’t get much for response or reach out...I know that shouldn’t be a factor, but it is, and it is hard to know if I am alone or resonating with someone.  I don’t even know if any of this is making sense to anyone, either, it’s just the way I am feeling.

I’m not asking for anything, and I do appreciate the platform and the support, and I definitely am enjoying the blogging...I just feel like an outsider that is trying to squeeze into a mold that may or may not be there.  It seems like TNTML is going in a different direction, and I’m just feeling a little lost.  

Would love to hear from you if you have some input: @JenSquard
