I've spent some time exploring on here, reading posts, thinking of what I have read and just basically checking things out.  Truthfully, I love reading blogs!  I did come across people talking about how refreshing it was to come out and show who they really were and then on the other side there are those that say it is wonderful to have no one know who they are.

 

Personally I think both sides are right.  I mean think about it - We have the choice to be whoever and whatever we want, to tell our deepest darkest secrets without the fear of friends or family finding out or passing judgement!  To be totally honest about things that we are going through or experiencing without the boundaries of "boxes" that our family and friends encase us in!

 

For example - my family and friends that know me personally see me as quiet at times, restrained, and very secretive.  But on here, no one knows who "Blomma" is, so on here, I'm sharing the things that I would normally keep inside.  Those things that drive me insane, things that make my cry, things that frighten me, things that make me feel.  I am not worried that my family and friends will see me in a different light, or that they will judge me.  Which is always a risk when we share deep, dark things....Or when we are being honest with ourselves and with the things that are happening within our lives.

 

Maybe, with time I'll show who I really am.  Which I have on another site before it shut down - I told some truths and with these truths I broke the box that friends had me in.  People who thought I was one way and thought a certain way, had to change their whole perspective.  For some, it wasn't that big of a deal, while for others it was harder to see that I was more complex than what they they thought.  Right now though, I embrace the secrecy that enables me to release things that would otherwise fester and poison me.
