When "love" isn't in your job description...

Every time I open up Blogger to write something, I'm confronted by this huge number of people who read my last post. And every single time, I close the tab as fast as I can. I don't want to see that number. Which is crazy, since, I mean, I write things so that  people will read them. But it's so much pressure. Too much. These readers - they, well, they want something from me. Part of me is stubborn and says, "I'll write when I damn well feel like it." Part of me is desperate, itching to write about so many things. And part of me is scared - what if they don't like it...what if they think I'm a hack...what if they say awful things about me...what if...? But then then yesterday, I saw a tweet: Love isn't just what Teachers DO. Love is who Teachers ARE. There is nothing Students can do to cause Teachers to love them LESS and there is nothing Students can do to make Teachers love them MORE! #education #edchat — тσм ℓσυ∂ (@loudlearning) Ap
