Blogging is a funny thing isnt it? Some people dont want to write so publicly, some people like to keep a specific diary, some people only blog the good stuff. I tend to blog everything. I try quite hard to only write good stuff but I fail miserably with that. I try to keep it all about home ed but that fails too. I try to write with perspective but tend to blurt it all out.
The thing about me is I like to write about life exactly as it feels to me at that moment in time. It doesnt mean its necessary the truth but it is my truth, about how I see life from my perspective. What it means is that when I look back in 5, 10 or more years I'll not be seeing what was happening in my life so much as viewing a snapshot of who I am and how I see things at this point in my life.
So I may shock, I may offend, and I may whinge. I may say things that seem stupid or cruel or just plain ridiculous but this blog is more than just a diary of my life, its my personality and my feelings, captured as a snapshot for another day.
I admire your honesty, I only tend to blog about good stuff, I don't really tell anyone bad stuff in real-life let alone in blogworld.
ReplyDeleteI know there are at least two people who read my blog who don't actually like me so sometimes I'm very aware of what I'm writing. So I tend to keep mine as a diary. I write a diary every night so I put the bad stuff in there. I love the way you write and wish I had the courage to write like that.
Thankyou Bridget.
ReplyDeleteI am equally envious of those who can write those happy inspirational blogs. Alas, I write drivel instead,lol.
I am in the whinge brigade when I feel like one and I don't care. If people don't like they can press the x at the top of the page :) I do blog the good times too. Sometimes they are few and far between and noone can know unless they live in our shoes. I just think its my blog innit?
ReplyDeleteI admire your honesty, having accepted that blogging isn't for me. I love the idea of it, and I love reading other people's but I can't do the openness and honesty that makes a good blog.
ReplyDeleteTBH, I think the ones that tell it as it is cheer me up far more than the inspirational ones. I can feel inadequate all by myself, so it's nice to know I've got company!
Absolutely Ruth. I do try not to moan but seem to slip into it at times.
ReplyDeleteThanks Anne, honesty is a double edged thing though and it has come back to bite me on the butt a time or two. It does open you up to risk but I find it hard not to mention things that are happening to me.
