Herein lies the conundrum...


Having a blog creates a unique dilemma in my life...there are so many things I wish I could talk about on here...so many topics that just burn brightly within me...but yet my fingers hover over the keys in fear. Fear of others reading it and knowing I am writing about them, fear of offending people that I love, fear of putting it to a page that can exist forever digitally...and thus come back to haunt me (much like that dang red pepper that was on my salad for lunch today...it's practically a poltergeist in my mouth). Blogs can serve numerous purposes...update family and friends on your life, create a depository for pictures, debate topics of interest, and create a forum for sounding off on various things.

This week I have had TWO topics I have so desperately wanted to blog about. I log into my Blogger Dashboard with my fingers just itching to be released onto my keyboard. But I just can't do it. The fear stops me. I almost feel like I need to create an underground blog...a covert one under a nom de plume with code names and riddles...just so I can write about things without fear.

BUT then who would be reading it?

I hate conundrums.

I completely understand this dilemma.

Writing about oneself is always safest, the ones we love will forgive us, so why do we worry about those we can't stand?

I felt the same way. Reading other blogs help a lot. I've found tons about people I don't even know that I keep up with. Once I started seeing how confident those people were, I started typing away. I realized that a blog is just my voice on a screen. So I don't hold back. I'm always shocked to here who all is reading my blog - love it! Keep going - I love the honesty in this post! leejaye.blogspot.com
