The September 11, 2013 prompt for "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" is How much of yourself are you prepared to share in your blog? Or perhaps the better question is - what aren't you prepared to share in your blog? What am I prepared to share? That depends on the day, my mood, the subject, and on which blog I am posting my comments or rants. There are, of course, some thing I am not prepared to share on my off sight blogs. There are some things I am not yet prepared to share on my writing.com blogs, unless I am in a "Deep, dark depression, excessive misery"1 mood and attempting to write my way out of it. Since I have trust issues and an off line journal, I normally use it to write things I would not share online. Most of the time the off live journal writing works to change my mood, but there are times when I need to vent online. Those are the time I tend to post rants on my blogs. I do not like depression, so I attempt to write my way out of it in my off line journal; however, that has became more difficult since my mother's death. I have considered talking to my doctor about the problem and this is where my paranoia manifest itself. Since I do not want to take any more medication, my doctor would send me to a psychiatrist or psychologist, who would not doubt lock me away... all right, that is probably an overstatement. I tend to look at the worst case scenario and figure that is what will happen. True this type of scenario seldom, if ever happens, but that does not prevent me from figuring out what it is and thing it will happen (at least as long as I am depressed). I write about these illusion in my off line journal because my trust issues do not allow me to share them online. So, I suppose the answer to the question is "Yes, there are some things I am not prepared to blog about. Footnotes |
