I've been thinking about what Shannon wrote
the other day about blogging about our personal lives. I do try
to avoid saying things that would hurt, embarass or offend people in my
life if they were to read it. But in doing that, I am unable to
truly unload here. I can't talk about some of the struggles at my
church, lest a church member come here and be offended that a staff
member's wife would be I once tried to have an anonymous blog. I still couldn't allow myself to be completely open and honest. I didn't talk about the specific situation in my life, but I did blog about my feelings about the situation. Someone who found it would have known I was having problems but not exactly what the problems were. Still, it was very private and I was afraid someone would see it and figure out it was me. And then while I was logged in under the wrong account (the private one), I left a comment for a girl from my church. I realized it immediately, so I went and deleted the blog. I wish I had saved all of the entries. I only have a few. I don't really have a point to make, I've just been thinking about what a blog actually is rather than what I thought it would be. I originally started on blogger as a way to connect with our youth at church. (Although most of them had xanga accounts, Jason had chosen blogger, so I followed suit.) They all migrated to myspace, and I do have a myspace account to keep in touch with them, but I don't blog much there. I do enjoy my homeschooling friends over here! I love the community we share here, and I love knowing that the things I struggle with are not unusual. Knowing that other moms share my struggles helps me feel enouraged. |
