I realize a blog is public. I'm not under some delusion that this is protected. I'm deluded about a lot of things, but not that. I don't think there isn't anything that I've posted that I wouldn't discuss in person. But I've been made to reconsider that for one main reason. I think my mom is reading my blog.
I share a lot about my life with my mom. We get along well and I can't say I hide anything from her. But for her sake and mine, I choose not to tell her everything. Let's be honest: there are some things moms just don't want to know. Like that time in high school when I...just kidding.
This revelation has made me reconsider. Are there posts that I need to delete? No. Are there tidbits I would normally blog but now will hesitate? Hmmmm. Possibly. There is one easy solution to this dilemma. Mom, stop reading this. I will tell you about my dates, excluding what I deem necessary for the sanity of each of us. And if you don't stop reading, at least remove the tab on your ipad that shows you were on this site. That way, we'll just pretend you've stopped. And we'll never speak of this again. We'll both be happier that way.
My major issue with blogging is that there are things that I need to express in written form that I don't want anyone who I know in real life to read. Recently, that has been everything I have to write about, so my blog is full of cobwebs right now.
