your blog will lose it's purpose if you start limiting yourself on what you can write... not because you don't feel comfortable writing certain thoughts down and sharing them for strangers to read, but because you're thinking too much of the people who frequent it... that you cannot write what you want to write because you're sure that the person you're writing about will know it's him or her that you were talking about.
but this is the internet. there's no such thing as a secret here. write down your thoughts somewhere and eventually you'll be found... the same way that you'll find out you were the subject of somebody else's post... to your liking or not.
when g (the reason why i stopped blogging at my previous blog) told me he now knows about my new blog addy, he advised me to change the url. he told me he has not dared to visit the new blog knowing he's the reason why i stopped blogging at twistedmind. i guess in a way, he didn't want to take blogging away from me, and the freedom that i currently feel with onewaytrain.
true, he was one of the reasons why i said my goodbye to my old blog. but right now, i realized it doesn't really matter if he knew... or if he has seen it or not. it didn't bother me anymore as i thought it would. i don't feel limited anymore as i thought i'd be. i've moved on, i stopped getting affected.
plus i'm falling in love with onewaytrain almost everyday. starting to look forward to that time of the day wherein i can sit down on my pc and have my manicured nails type down my thoughts. it was just like before. now, if only i can do something about the layout... hmmm....
this is home for me now. and i'm about to stay.

CheR March 29, 2005 11:12 PM PST i'm not at all brave. there sare a lot of things that i keep to myself. my privacy matters to me a lot. so while my blog is me, it doesn't quite paint a perfect picture of who i am really.
if only the most haunting life stories i have were not true, if only the tales i keep were not about real people, if only some events i try to forget were apt for table talk, if only my life could be as carefree as i want it to be.
these things, until i'm ready, will remain on the other side of words.
still, brave girl, you.
don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. ",
CheR March 5, 2005 10:20 AM PST awwww..... thank you for saying that, per_mie. i'd hae to admit i was hesitant of revealing who i was when i started onewaytrain coming from twistedmind. but then i slowly gained by the confidence i lost, then decided that i am a better person after having gone through what i did. and that i shouldn't hide under any other name because of that. :)
per_mie October 17, 2004 11:05 PM PDT u know what cher ? that's exactly how i feel..from my first blog and even for the blog i am working on now...weighting on what i shud say and what i shud not say...and even thinking of changing my nick cos that 's what it is in icq. but to hell with these thoughts! one has the right to write what she/he wants without fearing who 'll come across them..because, only this way, will one be true to him/herself. It's strange how u put into words so accurate of what is in the thoughts of many bloggers out there...but then, u've always had this magic with words..and that's y i keep coming back..:-) thanx, cher!
CheR September 27, 2004 02:50 AM PDT akira: true. so true.
babygirl: yehey? okay... yehey!
bumblebootie: well, i'd get flakey if my mom ever reads my blog. that's a major kakahiya moment. well, there's always the traditional diary thing to keep you secrets. i have that too, in case you ask. :)
blossom: i'm more than my blog, that's what i realized. so i don't really care anymore if already read my blog. those were my thoughts at that particular time... but they don't tell who i am and what i feel in a whole sense.
Wolwerinemx: hahaha... and yet we continue to blog. funny, huh?
the best place to write secrets where no one can see it is in your heart. and if people tell you to change urls just because they know it, then tell them to stop goin there :)
babygirl September 25, 2004 11:07 PM PDT One word: Yehey!
bumblebootie September 25, 2004 02:08 AM PDT my biggest pet peeve about blogs is when people get flakey about who reads their blogs and how others react to it... i get annoyed with password protected blogs or when they changing the url. i understand that people have issues with privacy. but lets be realistic... this is the internet. there's no such thing as private. i understand that blogging is meant as a way for some people to vent their feelings. but they also need to realize that when they do so, there might be consequences... some things are meant to be kept private. and if people want to keep it that way, then that's what their hard drive is for... can't you tell I've run into this situation often? it's annoying...
so anyway, i'm glad you're not one of those people that let others dictate what you put on your blog... *pat on the back for you*
blossom September 24, 2004 05:15 PM PDT blogging ur thoughts is risky but we're just being true to ourselves right.* but honestly i still dread the day he ever stumbles on my blog.*
