Bare It All

Baring it all.

I've been thinking about it a lot.  Do we bare it all on our blogs?  What is the purpose of blogging?  You know, when I started this thing I wrote with good intentions of keeping my family up to date with my move...and really to help myself remember what I've been up to.  But then there's this other part of me that likes to think of it as my journal...but I honestly don't treat it like that.

See, I have journal.  You know, the place where I can be completely honest with myself.  Where I can share the inner-workings of my mind.  The place where I'm able to just write my praises, joys, disappointment, anger, excitement, fear, anxiety, hurt, hopes, challenges...you know the real stuff.

This outlet has been great for me.  I love being able to see how far I've come but I rarely (if ever) write about what I'm really feeling.  If you are really close to me then you absolutely know how I'm feeling.  This is true because I wear my heart on my sleeve but not only that I also tell everything...rarely leaving any details out...but this is only if you're in my circle.  Probably less than a hand full of people.  So why is that?  What am I scared of?  Would it be possible to share those "inner-workings" with all of you...a lot of you complete strangers...can I do it?

I'm going to try....

Soon.

Got ya.

Yeah, it's that one step forward and one step back kind of thing.

So here's a question for you.  Do you bare it all?  Do you put it on your blog or in your journal?  Or do you tell your best friend, or your boyfriend/girlfriend, or your fiancée, or your husband/wife, or your mama, a total stranger?  Do you tell?

It's hard and something I'm struggling with.

Can you? Do you?

Bare it all.
