I write fiction, and at times it seems I can only write when things are going wrong … or if I can put myself in that place, even falsely. I publish poems on my blog and I fear people will wonder what’s going on behind the scenes … but what good is any of it if we can’t share?

It bothers me 10% more than it should that we are a society built on putting people into tidy little boxes and when anyone is outside the box we yell at them “what are you doing?!” and try to pound them back into that box.

You wanna say what’s going on in your actual life on your personal blog then you should do that, and instead of criticizing you for your honesty we can sit back and process and learn something from you.

So, thank you.

(Did that make any sense? hmm.)

# Princess of the Universe Says:

Who makes the rules? Why shouldn’t you share if it helps you?
I imagine a lot of people are concerned on Jared’s behalf, but I think all of us know that he reads this, as does your Mom & brother etc etc.

Aren’t a lot of problems in relationships causes because of “communication”? I don’t think Jared could ever say that he doesn’t know how you feel about something.

I think you’re doing an amazing thing, and no one has the right to tell you how open you should be. It’s silly.

End rant.
xo

Bonnie B.: yeah, my friend and I do that too. And my mom and I.

Turnbaby: thanks babe.

Kathryn: maybe I’m lucky like that.

My mom, dad, step mom, brothers, brother in law, husband and lord knows who else reads this site. And I still feel like I can say it any way.

Jay: LOL maybe it’s because my immediate family and I were always very verbal anyway, so I’m used to them hearing me talk a lot. I don’t know.

CP: and your non censorship is AWESOME!

Sodapop: yeah, it’s unrealistic to think everyone is going to hop on board and be all supportive. And that’s OK – sometimes you need that part too.

Hilly: you are the QUEEN of cryptic!

Jennifer A: and I soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo understand that.

Anissa@Hope4Peyton: oh believe me – I’m not verbalizing every feeling I ever have. THIS? Is just an itty bitty part of it. How scary is that? LOL

I think the only thing that keeps me from verbalizing every feeling every second i’m having it is knowing that my entire family would ban me from the funeral when my grandfather had a heart attack because some Asshat in my family showed him how to get to my site.

I’ll still be here reading. the reason I don’t write about my marriage problems is I don’t want my family’s advice or “help”. So I write about my kids, more fun for them to read. and I don’t get told to “talk to our priest for help”

I hate it when I get here late and everything I’d wanted to say is taken. So, I will talk about me me me .

I share whatever *I* want to share and if others don’t like it, I don’t care. Of course, I also hide behind the cryptic so I am not as ballsy as I pretend to be.

You can blog about whatever you want to blog about and I’m fairly certain you’ll get tons of readers. You’ll have people on your side and you’ll have people NOT on your side.

My blog is my “space” to share my world, share my grief, share my anger, share my happiness.

I’m glad you share your world with us.

I talk about everything. I don’t restrict myself. The reason I created the blog in the first place was to get things out of my system. I developed a readership from it. Never my intention but that is what happened. I didn’t censor myself back then and I don’t intend to now. You are perfectly brave and free to talk about your marriage. Good for you.

I think it’s cool that you don’t shy away form personal stuff here even though family reads your blog. It’s because members of my family DO read my blog that I stay away from a lot of personal stuff.

Of course you would think I would have offended them in many other ways by now, and run them off. But apparently not.
