Thoughts on blogging

In my last post I expressed frustration and confusion about blogging, and my "friends" (in quotes because although I love them, I've never met them in person!) have encouraged me to continue. I appreciate that encouragement...I know I will regret it if I don't do some journaling about this most incredible adventure.

I decided to turn to my trusty private blog for some of the more personal stuff. I've always been a private person. Besides Chris (with whom I never hold back--I can and do tell him anything and everything that comes to my mind), I really don't tell the people close to me what's going on in my head. It's nothing against them...maybe it's more embarrassment on my part. I don't like people knowing a lot about my emotions. It's easier to share the emotional (and occasionally weird) "stuff" with strangers because they're objective observers--what they see is what they get, and I never have to worry about being uncomfortable around them for saying what's on my mind. (I'm a very opinionated person--it doesn't mean that I judge people (unless they're not environmentally friendly, because to me, that's just being selfish), but I do believe in speaking the truth...and sometimes being put in my place if I'm being out of line!)

So I will keep blogging, but I'll save the really personal stuff for my blog. I'm even considering not fighting Chris as much when he wants to take a picture of me, but I promise you, I will not be putting those pictures on my blog!
