i can't remember which blog post it was, but the beautiful caitlin and i share an understanding that not because we have a blog, every people in our social circle or family knows about it. my post aren't being shared on facebook (i no longer have it, but i never had a direct link of my blog on there) or twitter.
"Gossip is a sort of smoke that comes from the dirty tobacco-pipes of those who diffuse it: it proves nothing but the bad taste of the smoker." - George Eliot
publicly private is a hard concept to grasp especially that blogging is for sharing. i think it's more for when things you share end up being repeated by the wrong people. that is all. everyone can say "don't worry about it" etc, etc, i get it. but sometimes, the damage has already been done.
So with you D. Regina...I've held on to information from social media, but I find blogging sometimes makes me share a bit more, just with more anonymity...for example...."The Purse Guy" lol

I certainly understand this post. Publicly private is a different concept. Since I started blogging, I've limited what I've shared via FB or otherwise. I know that if I want that "issue" private, I have to keep it to myself. Unfortunately blogging makes you give up a portion of your privacy especially if your blog becomes popular.

I don't tell my family about my blog. I'm not ashamed of it, I just don't want them on it all day every day...like they would be. And it would be in a supportive manner, but still.
ReplyDeleteI can relate, but I think for me I just told my family to *uck off. Honestly, they've taken what I've written out of context and all of a sudden rumors were made that I was in porn or something like that which was far from what I pursuing with my blog.
ReplyDeleteI definitely learned my lesson about posting a little too much about my personal life. Besides it's nice to keep some stuff private. However, I'm still not afraid to talk about my experiences that I'm going through. I think a lot of people might relate to me if not advise me better than what I know.
i don't really share things i wouldn't share with random people, i think it's when people twist things out of nowhere and bring it to the work place, etc. to bring others down.
ReplyDeletevery true ...
ReplyDeletestrange, but it makes so much sense.
ReplyDeleteexactly!
ReplyDeletei definitely like writing about my past experiences and i am happy to share them, but like i said on kat's comment - it's when people twists things out of nowhere and find drama in every single thing and bring it to the most inappropriate place is what sucks and takes the fun of it all.
ReplyDeletehahah love the hair pics in 20 different angles! nothing happened - well, i think people just either read to what i write too much, twists things out of nowhere and find drama in every single thing and bring it to the most inappropriate place is what sucks and takes the fun of it all.
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you for the sweet shout-out!!! :) Too kind. Did something happen with your blog and someone finding something and regurgitating it into an insult?? :( This feels so stupid to say but I love the blogging community, it's so supportive and generous and INTERESTING and I can go to a Blog and get why someone would post pics of their hair from 20 angles, I feel like if you're outside it, it can be a bit odd... and thus, I hope the judgmental people never find my Blog, haha. I hope you're okay though!! PS "publicly private" is a great way to state it.
ReplyDeleteThe closer the person is to me the less likely I want them having access to my blog, so family definitely no, close friend mostly no, casual friends, internet friends and then for some reason, I always feel compelled to share it with the one I am closest too. That never turns out well. Strange isn't it.

for me, blogging is my way of sharing whatever is on my mind but the truly personal stuff i keep to myself so whatever i post means that i don't care who reads it... besides, i think people have way more interesting things to talk about than boring crap that i post haha!
