I’ve Moved May 30, 2008

I’ve moved. I’ve changed my feelings about what I’m going to write. This is my third move. The first online blog I had was very detailed. I wrote more information than I should – names, places, events, feelings. I got paranoid and decided to lock the journal. That worked for awhile, but the site I was using wasn’t very good and I made the switch to blogger. Over there, I changed all names to nicknames, left out details and was much more vague.

Recently, I’ve noticed that someone who lives in a town very close to mine has been reading – and commenting. And these comments are very judgemental. Do I think I know this person? No, not really. My guess is they found me by searching for blogs by location and have decided to leave comments and have comment conversations with others who comment on my blog. Instead of defending myself, I locked that blog as well. And I moved over here. I’m not sure what I’m going to say here that is different than there, but here I have the ability to have password protected posts. I’m not sure how I’m going to handle the move with the few people that did read me. I’ll inform them of course, but I do understand if they don’t follow me here.

If nothing else, I will be able to write for me again. I still have the locked blog, which I will use for things that I don’t want the world to see. And I have this one… for my thoughts on life that I want to share with the world. I thought I could do that before with everything anonymous, but I learned I can’t. So no personal feelings here. I write for me, and if all that a commenter can do is be rude, I don’t want rudeness on my personal life. Remember, you don’t know me. You know a slice of me that I choose to share with the world. And you have no right to judge me on that.

Off my soapbox. For now.
