Self-Censoring is No Fun!
Sometimes I wish my blog was anonymous. Disclosing information would be so much more satisfying and writing would be easier. But since this blog is connected to and is a feature of one of my websites ( ContestForMoms.com) I feel like I must censor myself. This blog address was given out to friends and family early on and it is readily available for anyone to see if my real name is typed in almost any search engine. This is scary sometimes. You just never know who is reading your blog ( I know my younger sister & husband does and that’s ok), and I seriously would never want to hurt anyone’s feelings on purpose but at the same time it would be nice to vent every once in a while without fear of hurting anyone. I try and respect my family’s & my husband’s family’s privacy as much as possible and I will try to continue to do so.
Writing like this doesn’t always give me a chance to be myself. For the most part, it makes me look like I live a normal semi-cookie cutter life. However, I can assure you that is not the case. My life is far from perfect. So I guess I’m trying to find a balance. Does anyone else feel like this?
