of envy
I don’t know how some people do it. I just can’t pour my heart out on my blog. Surely the fear of embarrassment and/or vulnerability that could result is what keeps me from doing so. I guess I also like to maintain the confident image I think I project to most people. As if sharing my weaker moments would make me a weaker person or less respected or even pitied. I really do envy and admire some bloggers I follow for their bravery and candidness. How cathartic is it to put stuff like this down in writing for anyone to read?

Sorry, I’m behind on my RSS reader and am just now finding this post. Thanks so much for your kind words, and for reading my blog. I post emotional stuff on my blog because, like you said, it’s cathartic. It’s not so much that I worry who or if someone is going to read it, I just put it out there for myself. It always helps to put things down in writing, but it seems to help me a little more if I put them out there in writing in public.
That, and I don’t really have much of a censor button. I probably shouldn’t blog some of the things that I do.
