This goes back to be original reason for starting a blog. What on earth is the point? There is an element of narcissism here, in that I’d like people to read these posts and enjoy them, but why do I want that?
Does a compete stranger reading my posts make me a better person? Hardly.
Will I at some point tell people I know (and like and respect, and who I want to like and respect me in tun) abut tis? Why not? I know I’m already self-censoring greatly, and I’m likely to continue to do so, so what have I to lose? The one “danger” is that they won’t find this interesting, but then, with posts like this one I’m hardly doing myself any favours.
Part of this is I’m sure the reason I started a different blog a while ago – to act as a diary, for recording and refection, but what’s the point of that if I continue to hide the truth? I’m not lying, but I’m certainly unlikely to say all I think and feel in a public place.
Hmm…
