Yesterday I found out that my friend got into trouble for her blog. Last night I couldn't fall asleep because I was thinking about this. I often leave things out of my blog. I don't have any reason for it. Maybe it's because I vent about things elsewhere and I don't feel that I need to say it in the blog. That being said, I know this summer when I was in Hawaii I enjoyed being able to say things in the blog. I felt it was an outlet. Here is the problem though...if I were on the receiving end of one of her blogs, might I have been upset? Most likely, yes. BUT, it is HER blog and HER outlet. Is it any different than her going around talking about it and then it getting back to that person? I know plenty of people who do that. And she wasn't telling lies, it just happen to be how she saw the situation.
A while back I stopped writing so much on my blog. I became aware of some people looking at my blog just to be nosey. I created the blog so our family and friends were able to see our life. It bothered me to know that other people could be looking at it just to talk trash on me and my new life. I was told I was being ridiculous for not writing so much. But now I realize that I wasn't.
I guess what I'm saying is...I like the blog because I can reflect on things that are going on in our life and its like keeping a diary. I have to give Andy credit for the diary idea. I don't want someone telling me what I can and can't say on my blog because it hurts someones feelings. Maybe my feelings are hurt and I want to talk about it. What's wrong with that?

Good blog post! Interesting & thought-provoking how technology makes it so very public & yet we still tend to want to 'hide' our ideas at times. Keep up the great thoughts!
