It's ...Hi Amy, first time on your blog today. <br /><br />It's a fine line between being 100% honest and opening yourself up to horrible people or telling half truths but not being complete true to yourself. I face this all the time. I would love to be more free with my writing, but a)I worry that I might offend certain people close to me (my parents don't get why I blog) and b)I'm very sensitive at heart and know how I feel after a positive comment, so to hate commenters would be awful. Like being back at school again <br /><br />I love blogging and have 'met' so many great people through it. It my little corner of the web where I can share my thoughts and feelings. I need to just remember that at the end of the day, everyone is entitled to their own opinions and if they don't match with mine, I shouldn't worry about it. <br /><br />I love TW's blog and admire her honesty and boldness. I was also awaiting the arrival of That One with anticipation too!Chichi {From Now Till I Do}https://www.blogger.com/profile/01678922739005464206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018096084164818397.post-3234449604816190362010-04-12T17:26:09.860-07:002010-04-12T17:26:09.860-07:00I blog for me, as a release, to get out my ideas a...I blog for me, as a release, to get out my ideas and express myself. In that respect, I shouldn't worry what people think, but I do. I guess I could try and if comments get crazy, I could stop... Hmmm... Thanks Genavee!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03061987781861844355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018096084164818397.post-57011026439056605742010-04-12T17:17:22.325-07:002010-04-12T17:17:22.325-07:00I'm glad to hear I wasn't the only one che...I'm glad to hear I wasn't the only one checking for status updates a little too obsessively today. <br /><br />I think your absolutely right that being opinionated brings both the crazies and the love. Really, controversy is just generally more interesting, so it brings in big numbers and even more passion.<br /><br />Personally, I think it would be worth it. I love the honesty and full expression that comes with blogging, so not being willing to engage in what I care about, controversy or no, would strip the joy out of blogging for me. Not that I really blog anything super controversial (probably largely because the most controversial topics seem to center on parenting, and not being a Mom I would feel odd talking about that). But then again, everyone blogs for different reasons, and has different goals and tolerance levels. To each their own.Genaveehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10734845535927869023noreply@blogger.com
