true bloggers

Blogging was just a venting area. Until I was not alone anymore.

I had been thinking about how it would be to blog about people who read my blog. I knew it will be difficult and I will be forced to self-censor. I say forced because I would do it for them, not for me.

People who know me well have heard me describe my life experiences over and over to numerous people. I usually like to keep people in my life updated with everything significant. I don't know why I do it. Maybe I like the attention. Maybe I think that life is art and needs to be appreciated. Or maybe it's my storytelling skills that get good practice in altering the same story for different people. Or it could be my years of living two different lives and hiding one from the other that makes me want to come out and speak the truth fearlessly.

But I can see how this could be a problem for the characters in my stories - who are real people with different ideas and thoughts about life. They may not enjoy being spoken about as much.

It's not merely reporting that I do here. My words will help say what I wouldn't say in real life. It may actually help the characters themselves get a new perspective on the story. It is like a parallel conversation with my near and dear ones - the deeper thoughts that are usually neglected in day to day conversations. I see it as being for a greater good - for the pursuit of truth.

And I truly urge my near and dear readers to start sharing their truths with me through their own blogs so that our lives and relationships become more fulfilling.
