If one is not careful one could reveal more about themself than they intend to on this thing. I'm not sure if that is such a bad thing anyway. We spend so much time preserving that which we are, protecting it as if it would break if mis-handled by anyone else. Why do we try so hard to hide ourselves? Is that what we were taught? Do we do it for a reason that is our own?
I keep to myself because I am a loner. I hide info about myself for four reasons:
1. I don't even want to know it myself
2. I like to keep ppl guessing
3. You didn't ask the right questions
4. I was taught not to talk about myself
I was taught that to openly talk about yourself was arrogant if you spoke of the good and attention seeking if you spoke of the bad. The correct thing is to get a few friends and let them discover the good, and pry the bad out of you over tears or drinks (disclaimer- my mother did not teach me about drinks).
Whatever the reasons I've seen friends suffer in silence, I've martyred myself in great agony because of a curtain off silence that I never fully understood but adhered to because that is the done thing. Perhaps this blogging experience is my usual rebellious nature against that which I refuse to buy, but will rent until I have the courage. Yet as public as this is, it is still private because if you don't know I blog you don't know what I reveal.
Selah!
