In today’s celebrity-obsessed culture, a word like “people” conjures up the rich and famous. This actually has deep-rooted sociological underpinnings, so it’s no wonder that blogs about celebs are now some of the most popular in the world. There’s also the provocative group of people known as politicians who receive plenty of attention for even seemingly minor issues. While it’s fun — if not addicting — to read gossip about celebs and politicians, perhaps the most fascinating group of people are those of us who aren’t famous yet still have something to share with the world. Like the working joe with the interesting job. The boyfriend who makes your day. The mom trying to find her place in the world.
