And I am glad that you realize that your words DO give someone understanding that they are not alone, and most importantly HOPE. I don't comment alot, but read every single post.

Probably not. But would I be devastated if they somehow stumbled upon it. Probably not. It's only the truth that I tell. I very much enjoy your blog, and I encourage the openness.

You become friends (REAL friends) with readers. You tell your family. <br /><br />But, no matter how the space itself changes, I think you've hit the nail on the head: your writing shouldn't. Fear can be a monstrous noose. I'm so glad you're not letting it strangle this lovely, unique voice of yours. :)hannahjustbreathehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08359736052522439643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1386103061041164818.post-54885192785265436542010-12-02T12:22:02.708-06:002010-12-02T12:22:02.708-06:00Nicely done with this post.

My close friends and family knew what I was going through when I had the big breakup and I thought that getting my feelings down in blog format might help me achieve some form of clarity. It was difficult, but I learned so much about myself in the process, and, over time, I've learned that I want to be completely honest with myself even if it means I'm revealing too much or saying things some people may disagree with. Such is life sometimes and we can't make everyone happy... might as well start with ourselves :) <br /><br />I wish you the best of luck in the road ahead. It's scary and difficult but it sounds like you have it all figured out.mypixiebloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09135461083810124483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1386103061041164818.post-80455147468352513472010-12-02T11:32:51.671-06:002010-12-02T11:32:51.671-06:00I wholeheartedly support this.

You should be able to let go and write what you feel without fear of judgement. <br /><br />I don't blog anonymously, and I have wondered at what my family and friends think of my stark honesty. But I rationalized it because I have always wanted to be a writer, so if I realize that dream my "self" will be out there for the whole world to see anyway. I think being unapologetic for who we are and what we feel is an important part of this "moving on" process.Marisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02057459932665259120noreply@blogger.com
