Private
After much debate with myself, & talking it over with Alan. We have made all of our blogs Private. Every time I tried to sit down and write a blog post this past year, I could never bring myself to publish it. (I literally have 100 drafts.) Mainly because the following reasons have been on my mind.
1. I DON'T blog for others.
I blog for myself, & for my small Family. A way to document & reflect on the good & bad in our lives. I look at it as a digital scrapbook. To someday be made into yearly books for our family.
2. Comments.
Comments are nice. However, what I'm not interested in, is when people try to one up you, pass judgement, or stroking a ego. I certainly do not feel like I am better than anyone, or that my family is more special. I think everyone does the best they can with what they have.
3. Creepers...
I find it unsettling, that people are reading about my life that I don't have interaction with. Especially if it involves people who aren't FB friends. Its just Weird. I am a fairly private person, & I often feel that I am letting the whole world in on our lives. Just as I am guarded to let a Stranger into Our Home. Why wouldn't I feel guarded with a Stranger with Information about my life?
4. Out with the Bad...
This past year I challenged myself to clear out the bad/negative. (people that is) I don't think I have ever had such a peaceful/stress-free year. Haters are going to Hate no matter what. So why add fuel to the fire, or give them something to talk about.
5. My BIGGEST Reason... My Family is sacred to me.
And when you have something sacred in your life you Protect it, Honor it, & Love with all of your being. My small Family is everything to me. They are, & always will be my 1st Priority.
So here's to Updating the Blog again. Catching up on Memories. And feeling less vulnerable. :)
