Ladies and Gentleman,
This is the next, but hopefully, not the final post on The Impact Place. Through the course of 8 weeks I have been on a search far and wide to answer topics in relationships. I was able to obtain questions on communication, interracial dating, abusive relations, attraction, and I even did some field work that turned out to be fun as well. I have to admit that I became emotionally attached to my blog and turned into an online alter-ego named Mr. Impact. By this I tried to take Corey Benjamin out of the equation and address issues from an unbiased perspective as Mr. Impact. The visitors only commented on Mr. Impact and not Corey Benjamin. But as I (Corey Benjamin) invented the site I had to understand that if I was going to give my input on such a controversial and emotional topic, that I had to be ready to embrace the responses from my community. This example goes for the blog that was posted on “And you say he’s just a friend”, where I became emotionally attach to this piece and had to understand that my responses where not only for myself but for other viewers. This blog can be perceived as a selfish and cheap attempt to find out “what the ladies want”, in an indirect manner. This was not my intent but, in the end I was able to grow and become more knowledgeable through the course of sustaining this blog. I have to admit that most of these posts came from personal experience and I felt comfortable discussing them with my audience.
As the inventor of this blog, I was able to approach these issues in my post seriously and this allowed people to see me (Corey Benjamin again) in a different light. This became an advantage when I get responses such as “that’s a great post” or “I am looking forward to next week”. This motivation serves as a fuel to write and discuss more. Due to the lack of credentials that I have (i.e. Ph. D., Master Degree, or continued education etc), I do not think that I am part of this relationship community. But, I feel that if I was to continue down this path that I will be able to service not only myself but viewers around the world. What was important to me was all the information that I was able to obtain, I found out that my feelings and thoughts where corroborated by my research. I had a lot of my viewers agree with me on alot of my topics as well. This feeling urged me to continue being Mr. Impact. In the end this was a great experience for myself and the viewers of my community. Maybe I will embark on a journey to service others in the relationship depart, but only when I feel that I am creditable.
Signing off,
Truly yours always and forever
