So I’ve drafted a few posts a few times but ended up deleting them altogether because I felt that they were either too personal or they contained too many information that I wasn’t comfortable to share. But this is supposed to be a personal blog, so how then?
Back then when I started blogging around 2005, it wasn’t much of an issue to be sharing personal thoughts, my deepest hopes and dreams online. And I am so glad I did that or I wouldn’t have met my The One and many friends from blogging. I still have them as friends til now, it was a different environment back then.
But over the years and the things I discovered online through what happened to others (which includes cyber-bullying and stuff), it made me close up. I felt that the lesser people know about me the better. I felt that only the privileged few will know what I’ve done, what I’ve achieved, my failures and sadness, I don’t need to tell the world about my weaknesses or strengths. I don’t owe it to people.
But then again, this blog is not about making people admire me or be impressed with what I have because my intention is just that - a personal diary so called, so that one day, when I read through what I’ve written, it makes me go back to warm memories. I am wary about the general audience as not everyone likes you and any information can be used against me even if I say it is my personal view that may only apply at that moment of time. People change their minds every so often about things and I don’t write about everything I feel. And I do see a lot of negative energy online of people who simply love to stir shit.
So, that is my gripe - of wanting to write often vs being careful with what I want to share.
