Anyway, back to talking about blogging. So yes, at least twice a week I log onto my blog with the hopes to blog about something. However each time I get to the point of writing something I decide not to. Here's the problem; the things I want to write about are things going on in my life or a commentary about someones actions to me or someone else. There are things I want to say about people that would probably come back and kick me in the butt later and I'll be in trouble.I want to be able to say, "Hey this happened to me and it sucked..." or "this girl did this or that, or treated me badly, or snubbed me, or rejected me, and I think it's lame because..." or "Don't you hate it when someone does something like my friend here...". Stuff like that. I can't. People will get offended. I want to openly ask the people that read this for advice or what they think on thing that happen to be, but it would create more problems if I do.
It's such a temptation to create a whole new blog under a fake name and background and change peoples names and then write about what happened. I could then write about what's REALLY going on in my life, what's REALLY bothering me, and what I deal with day to day. The problem with that is no one I know will read it because they won't know the blog exists, or if they did find it and if they knew me well enough, they could probably connect the dots and know it was me. Then they'd know a lot I bet.
Anyway, yeah, there isn't really a good solution. So just know that even though there aren't a lot of blog posts put up, the thought is still there. It just takes a bit more to come up with something that isn't quite as problem causing.
why don't you just write all of your frustrations in a journal? It's private and it allows you to vent. try it :)
ReplyDeleteWhile that is true, as I mentioned above I want to be able to ask people for advice on what frustrates or happens to me. Hence that I want to blog about it. :D
ReplyDeleteI totally get you! There was a time I wanted to start a blog just to vent and complain about things/people/events that frustrate me, but Jared said it would be a bad idea... and I guess he's probably right. :P
ReplyDeleteBUT! If you ever want to vent or complain, you can just write to me! I love giving advice (I don't know if I'm good at it, but I like giving it!) and I 1. Don't know many of the people you hang with and 2. Live across the country and am out of any "loop" that might get you in trouble! :)
Honestly, I say go ahead and vent. If people get mad, let them. This is YOUR blog, you should be able to write whatever you want. It is your journal on your computer...that other people just happen to read. Or, if it really does bother you, create a new one just for venting. Seriously, getting it out on the interwebs sometimes is the best medicine :).
