Have any of you what I class as unfinished business in the world of a blogger??... what I mean is, have you had a day where you're fingers have flown over the keys as you rant, or vent, or just ramble your way through a blog post, or two... or many?...but when it comes to hitting that all important publish button; something holds you back?
That was yesterday for me... I typed up 3 different blogs... I was having a day of low moods and thinkiness (not a word I know!!) and was ruminating over things, my life, where i'm at, things going on around me... but when it came to hitting to publish I held back.. for a few reasons,
That was yesterday for me... I typed up 3 different blogs... I was having a day of low moods and thinkiness (not a word I know!!) and was ruminating over things, my life, where i'm at, things going on around me... but when it came to hitting to publish I held back.. for a few reasons,
- I'm new to the public blogging world, and it would be strange to post a negative blog of such a personal nature when so far I've talked about more superficial stuff such as makeup and fitness.
- How much of that stuff do people actually want to see on a blog, do people read for the mundane thinky side of folks, or just the reviews and pleasant chit-chat... I hope that soon I can start opening up on the more negative posts... they're few and far between , don't get me wrong, I don't suffer from Depression thankfully... I just get low days
- I wasn't being rude about anyone but i just worry about someone I know well reading it and connecting the dots to certain things I was ranting about in a vague way.
So I want you folks' input on this... just how much is it ok to share on a blog do you think... and how soon should a person start being much much more personal and in depth? 1 week into opening my online blog to the world... is it too soon to have my ranty days about deeply personal stuff? I realise that everyone is different and you should probably just be more open when it feels right for you... but as a 'reader' of blogs do you feel differently?
what do you all think?, as a therapist i firmly believe in getting all that's inside out, and talking about it, but can a person share too much online?
