Hmmmm

When you pour your heart out all over your blog, it's hard to know what to do next. I did my outpouring yesterday, here. There's a certain vulnerability that follows when you finally pluck up the courage to press publish. You've laid yourself open and bared your soul for all to see.

It's a bit scary and if I'm honest rather uncomfortable but at the same time quite necessary. Well it is for me. I used to think I was a fiercely private person and to a certain degree I believe I still am. But I've come to realise that if what I have to say can encourage, help or uplift just one person then it has to be worth saying.

As well as the deep stuff, I'll continue to blog about any and everything that fills my head. Fluffy, cute kiddie musings in particular. Ha!

After all that's one of the many beautiful reasons we blog right? To share a part of ourselves no matter how light, heavy, funny or difficult the subject matter may be?

  1. Go straight back to the usual stuff - your readers now know you better, hopefully like you better and will be more sympathetic.

    That's what I do and it makes blogging really cathartic, really helpful. :-)

  2. I think you are very brave, and I know what you mean about how you feel when you've pressed publish and it's all out there to read. But I do think that it's important to share the not so nice things as well as the good things, and I agree that it is cathartic to have everything written out.

  4. Thanks Jennifer. That's what I'm beginning to think. It's good to share the up's as well as the down's. It is super cathartic and I like the idea of being able to help others through my own experiences, good and bad.

  5. It's definitely scary... it's a big step. You're opening the door and you may feel vulnerable. But if you feel that it may help others, you should definitely do more of those posts. I KNOW they will help others.

    People tend to forget that the bloggers that we read are human too and that they too may have things that they have dealt with. It's only right to share that with others x

  6. Moderne Meid I agree. You never know whose life you could be touching. That alone, makes sharing worth it. X
