Am I the only one who has started several blogs but abandoned them after a few posts?

Yes, I confess this is not my first blog... It is in fact my 4th!  The first one which was my longest was when I lived in the States for 2 years studying my Masters' degree in Counselling.  I can't actually find this one anymore, which is a shame as it contains many exciting highlights from my life, including the time I got surrounded by 4 squad cars chasing a shop lifter whilst making an otherwise normal trip to Chik fil a...
But that's a story for another time!!
The 2nd one had about 5 posts in it and it was my attempt at doing a 'practical-reviews type blog' of visitor attractions with a small baby in tow.   It was so dull that that really is enough said about that...
The last one before this had zero posts in it! It was really much more of an 'embryo title idea' which sadly never grew into anything more interesting.

So, we'll see how many posts I actually write in this blog!

Am I the only one who hopes their blog will become an internet sensation?

Am I the only one who begins a blog  purely to process my life and try and connect with the funny side of my life, but secretly hopes that it will be read by many people and become an internet sensation?
"Oh no (insert name of national/international famous chat show hosts) I never intended for this blog to be seen by anyone, let alone be made into a best-selling book and now this coming Summer a Hollywood blockbuster movie.  It was purely just a place to process my life and try and connect with the funny side of all the stress and strains of my life."
     Who am I fooling?! I'm so in need of validation that I have written my blog in the style of questions, hoping that others will interact with the topics and that ultimately I will learn that I am not in fact the only one!
Here comes the 'deep part' - ultimately I think many of us are looking for that reassurance that we are not alone in the thoughts we think, the fears we have, the ways we live and in this increasingly disconnected society there is a longing for connection within us all.
Plus, it would help me a lot to know that I'm just not plain out crazy!!
     So... the following posts are an attempt to explore some of those questions I have, as a means of processing my life.  Some posts will be lighthearted, some a bit deeper.
And of course if it leads to fame and fortune, well that's the burden I'll just have to bear ;)
