The Display
Many of us in blogland that have a blog, use it somewhat as a personal journal, while at the same time are fully aware it is a window for others to peek into. It is appealing to put yourself -or part of- yourself "out there" for others to connect with, and hopefully support you in whatever it is you choose to put on display. It is limiting for me at times, though, because it isn't possible to really be as open as I could and sometimes want to be. Sometimes fearing judgment inhibits you from fully expressing things you may, although I also feel that when we do truly open up, it allows others to relate to the human condition in all of us.
Also, there are the dangerous aspects of not really knowing who may be reading...details you must be careful not to inadvertently post...anyway, that being said, my Question of the day is: Do you run into these feelings at times?

Hopefully the cure for bloggers block is a post that delves a little into my creative block. :) lol
I DO go through those feelings, especially knowing the particular audience that reads my posts, (i.e. friends and family). I try to be objective and diplomatic, but sometimes it's difficult.
never. you are right this is a way for "us" to display ourselves. I say, type what you might be afraid to say. Heck no one really reads these things anyways ;P
I think the trick lies in revealing enough to get a load off your mind but drawing the line when things get too.. revealing.Its actually dependant about the blogger..to each his own,really... Its hard to see where the line is,though.. :)
I guess for me, at times it will continue to be a struggle to decide what and what not to write about. Mostly I try to let this be light.
Deffinately.....in fact, I was feeling judged tonight. I try not to let it get to me, because after all, it is my blog, and I made it for myself, and my self expression.
Anyway, I guess we all feel this way at times.
