It's nice to be retweeted (thank you, Karn Ivol). It makes me feel as if I’ve done it right. I wish it happened more often but I guess not everything I tweet is worth retweeting. So now tweeting feels like taking a test and each time I wonder-will I fail or pass this time?

Why is other people's recognition so important? Even when it happens it is so short-lived that it's not even worth remembering. Why the acknowledgement in someone else's eyes should matter so much then when it is only my own opinion that should be relevant?
