I seem to struggle with blog posts. (Obviously, since it has been close to a year since the last post.) This is mostly because of a personal dilemma I have with putting my thoughts out for the world to (potentially) see. This is my line of thinking: though there are a few topics that I feel comfortable posting, there are many things to write about that include my everyday interactions with people, and not all of them are pleasant. Since these events sometimes include my friends, I end up with basically two options...
1) I can post those stories on a blog, and then try to make sure that no one who is mentioned in those posts actually reads the blog. Of course, this means that I couldn't share my blog with my friends, and since I can't expect anyone else to read my blog, that means that I am essentially posting things pointlessly online.
2) I just save those posts for a private journal so I can share my blog with my friends. Of course, this means I am essentially writing in two different places, one that I share with everyone and one that I share with no one, which seems way more complicated than is really necessary, and it would just be easier to write all of my thoughts in one place.
I realize this post makes me seem sort of like an awful person. I mean, how much do I really have to say that could possibly offend my friends? Not much, at least that I am aware of. However, it is just easier to keep everything I want to say private in case it DOES offend someone.
On top of that, I am not really sure how many people will find what I have to say interesting. But oh well! It is time to attempt this blogging thing again, and see if any inspiration hits!
