I’ve been avoiding my blog for a month now. I think of it multiple times a day as it whispers to me and chastises me for abandoning it. I have avoided my poor little blog for many reasons.
1) I’m a procrastinator deep in my bones.
2) I forget all the things I want to talk about once I sit in front of my computer.
3) I’m freaking busy!
4) I can’t decide how “deep” to get. (more on that later)
5) And the most typical thought running through my head...who really gives a flip?
Since I can’t shake the whispers, and it must be all of you out there sending me secret messages that I must get busy, here I go...
So how deep should one go on their blog? Some people will discuss anything and everything. Some people are private people and don’t blog at all. There are those that blog about certain subjects, such as children, how to do *something*, money, their spouses, shopping, you name it. Then there are those that share only with certain people, and that I get as well. I am going to conduct my own little experiment... I’ll let you know how it goes.
Please let me know folks, because I’m all ears. I have a million little voices running in my head all day. NO, I am not crazy. I have just reached a point in my life and just wonder if there are other people out there that feel as I do about the many many things in our lives. If no one gives a flip what I write about, then by golly I can just write about whatever I feel like, right? If I get some pissy comments from folks, then maybe that is a topic I should reign in a bit or avoid all together. Otherwise, the things I write about are the things I find interesting, challenging, bewildering, bothersome, etc.
Will my mother roll her eyes if she reads about bikini waxing? Will my friends feel hurt if I vent about something they did that hurt MY feelings? Will my husband be irritated if I discuss how terrible it felt when I found out about his potentially life threatening illness? Will I embarrass my children so badly that they feel they need to hide their faces in shame in public? (just kidding...no way in hell I’d let my kids read this until they are adults) And how badly will I embarrass myself here. We shall see!
