In general, this blogging thing makes me kind of afraid: Sure, it's good for venting, and a heck of a lot cheaper than paying a shrink, but sometimes I feel like I am putting all of my negative traits out there, and exposing all my vulerabilities - and I wonder, what would someone reading this think? Here I am, exposing my jerkiest moments - I am so sure that I come off as someone not myself.
I just keep on thinking of the Blake quote from Song of Innocence - "The Truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent". I don't have bad intent, but I think substituting the words "half-truth - sometimes even if that half-truth is told with good intent" for the first half of the sentence, would have it still hold true - and that is what scares me about blogging, because a blog can't encompass the whole truth of you - not even four blogs can encompass that truth.
We are all individuals. As Monty Python showed so brilliantly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hRZDFhn0XA
