This Post Is All About You: What Do YOU Want to Discuss?

I’m just a girl, standing in front of her audience, asking them to TALK to her.

Yeah, I squandered that cheesy quote in my last post about my crazy bright raincoat. But it felt right to squander it a little more because it’s EXACTLY what I’m doing here.

Okay, okay, I’m not literally standing – I’m sitting typing… and I’m fully aware you’re not literally in front of me – you’re at home or at work or on the train home or reading your phone under the bedsheets… but I AM – I really am – asking you to talk to me.

Well okay I don’t want a barrage of phone calls – I detest talking on the phone in general – you know I mean talk to me here, on the blog, in the comments? Don’t you?

What I want from you

Here’s where I get demanding. I want YOU to tell ME what YOU want to talk about. The comments section is often my favourite part of the blog, and when we have a juicy topic to discuss (like Instagram filters, the ageing process or defunct clothes shops from our youth) it seems that you lot rather like it too, joining in with tales of your wild experiences, brilliant anecdotes or considered opinions. I love the conversations we have.

But is there anything you’re desperate to talk about that I’ve not already covered? Anything you’ve ever thought That would be a great topic to discuss on someone’s blog?

I want this post to be a chance where those who often join in comments tell me what they’re dying to discuss. And it’s ALSO a chance for those of you that silently read to maybe, just once, tell me what you’re interested in. I’m not berating anyone for not commenting – far from it! I LOVE that anyone has visited and read something here, with or without comments. I’m just encouraging you to speak up if you never have but always wanted to.

So whether you’d like to see something about menopause (I just started my HRT journey this week so I’ll definitely be discussing that in time), or other health concerns, or a particular fashion trend, or something you read online or in the media about older women that makes you happy, or sad, or proud (I’m just making this up, it could be anything) – I’d like you to tell me.

Think of it this way: what would you like to see discussed in a comments section that you simply CANNOT help but join in with? Something serious? Something frustrating? Something frivolous and funny? I’d like to think I cover topics that address issues evoking all those sort of feelings, but if I’m not: this is your chance to tell me.

I’m looking forward to finding out what burning issues you want to discuss…
