Liz was right

Blogs are strange things, no?

Private thoughts put into a public forum is a bit like reverse voyeurism. These are my bits, they belong to me & no one is allowed to see or pass judgment on them but me. Here, let me show you them.

Now there are some bloggers who will say, "Oh, this? I do this for me. I do this for a creative outlet & if someone chooses to read it, well, that is their problem." Those would be the liars. People don't write blogs for the hell of it. They write blogs for external validation. They can argue until they're blue & it will still be true.

Private thoughts should be exactly that. Kept to yourself or possibly shared with very intimate friends &/or family. You want to call out a particular so & so, you don't do it in your blog. That would be something termed passive aggressive & it's a character flaw. Fix it.

That was a weird tangent.

Have I mentioned that I haven't been doing so well emotionally lately? Or, have you guessed that already?

Completely agree. A desperate grope for attention. Sad, really. In fact, I just recently wrote about the topic in my blog.
