No one in my life reads this blog. Well, I don't think anyone reads it quite yet, but I haven't told anyone I know about it. My husband knows I write it, but I haven't told him the address. A few friends know I have one but I have never really advertised where or what it's about. It isn't to be secretive or anything. I am not hiding something from my family and friends. Partly I don't think anyone would be interested, and mostly I want a place where I can say what I want and not have people judge me. Or at least, if they do judge me, I can delete their comments and go about my business.
As I have mentioned, I don't believe I have any "readers". I believe a few people have popped in here since I commented on their blogs, but I don't have a following so to speak. I guess that is a good thing since I have been reading about all the controversy other bloggers face when they report about their real lives. In one of Lindsey's comments a woman said someone commented negatively to her and left it anonymous saying she knew the person in real life. SO she wondered all the time who it is that fakes it with her but criticized her on her blog.
And that is why my real life friends and family don't come here. I have other spaces to leave pictures for relatives and share stories with friends, but this space is for me to ponder life, write about the mundane, as well as what I am passionate about (I will get to blogging about that someday) and for me to feel free to open up with out fear of loosing friends or offending those I see daily.
I'm late with this, but I drop in occasionally! :)
ReplyDeleteI have so many blogs I like to read, that I have to stagger it out and read just a few a day, or else I'm on this computer ALL DAY LONG!
thanks Lindsey, it's always appreciated :) I do the same!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI do not have any real life people I know except 1 that reads my blog (that I know of). Nobody that knows me would be surprised at what I write and would probably find it boring. LOL
This is kind of funny, my husband knows I do all kinds of stuff on the internet for our buisnesses but he gets ill even thinking about how the computer works or what I do on it. (He's not computer litterate at all but is great with non tech things!) News reporters were talking about Blogs on the show one night and he said "What on earth is a BLOG!?" I just had to laugh. How sweet.
My neice just started a family blog and put my address on it. Now I'm feeling all weird about people I know reading my blog. I'm not sure what I'm going to do, leave the address or start another just for family blog.
