Self-importance
As I was considering the categories I wanted to assign to my previous post, I noticed one of my tags was interesting.
As if, in any sense of the meaning of interesting, I’d consider any post of my own on this blog uninteresting. It’s not a stretch of the imagination to assume that whatever I decide to publish here I consider interesting in some way.
But did I really think I needed to call specific attention to that? To allow readers who stumble upon me, or visit in memory of some long lost post, the ability to filter by what I deem interesting?
If that’s the case, it’s a rather embarrassing category.
“I remember reading something he wrote. I think he thought it was interesting.”
