Pretty soon I started posting more personal stuff about myself and only I can decide how much I want to share. <BR/><BR/>I only have one IRL friend who reads my blog & I actually freaked out about it at first because I wasn't sure how to react to it. But she is a good friend who lives across country and I value her advice and treasure her friendship so if she can give me some advice on something I posted, then that is just gravy baby. <BR/><BR/>I also like the friendships that I have made by reading other people's blogs and realizing that we are all very similar. I enjoy the kindness of strangers... does that make sense?marisolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07229296018484982146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112065358549799390.post-15737492119031894772009-04-02T16:39:00.000-05:002009-04-02T16:39:00.000-05:00I blog for multiple reasons.

I've met a lot of other great people online and it's nice to have the interaction. While I'm pretty public with my blog, I don't really advertise it with family and friends. I don't mention it in my Myspace or Facebook profiles. That said, I do have some personal stuff on my blog, it's mostly about things I like or places I've been. Looking back at the old posts can be fun. So much can change!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15963452277597242321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112065358549799390.post-81063163580517848212009-04-02T00:03:00.000-05:002009-04-02T00:03:00.000-05:00Lesli!

Can't wait for Jen Lancaster!!!<BR/><BR/>Jess, I totally agree about not wanting to vent to friends about stuff. I tell my friends just about everything and I've noticed myself pulling back more and more as we've gotten older (I know, sad) just because everyone else already has so much going on in their own lives. Marriages, families, new pets, job struggles, money struggles...etc, etc. On here, my issue is put out there and if someone wants to respond they are free to do so without being put on the spot!Amber @ A Little Pink in the Cornfieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06898255649481697297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112065358549799390.post-41520924302329146872009-04-01T21:23:00.000-05:002009-04-01T21:23:00.000-05:00I blog for many of the same reasons as you. I even...I blog for many of the same reasons as you. I even wrote a post on it a few months back!<BR/><BR/>My blog is pretty anonymous and I don't tell my friends about it, but I'm open to becoming friends with all my commenters, etc. It's definitely not private, but I like that it's a place for me to vent without having to vent to my real life friends or talking their ear off etc.CIPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17702732228541903498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112065358549799390.post-70015107252361841782009-04-01T20:06:00.000-05:002009-04-01T20:06:00.000-05:00I blog for all the reasons you just stated above, ...I blog for all the reasons you just stated above, and I am pretty sure I will never be famous...and only 1/4 of the way to 100 followers. I wouldn't know what to do if I had 100 people follow my blog!<BR/><BR/>I blog because I love to write and if my writing touches a chord with someone occasionally, all the better. If I can entertain and make someone laugh or help them find a cute bag or recommend a good book or movie, that is good too! <BR/><BR/>While it would never be my intention to hurt anyone with my words, I still strive for honesty in all my relationships, so occasionally I might say something that someone might take exception with--but honestly I would say it to their face, too.<BR/><BR/>But mostly I write as a form of creative expression & mainly I do write for myself. <BR/><BR/>The icing on the cake is making new friends. That is truly the best. And I am so lucky to have found you, Amber, as my new friend!Leslihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12391399471614823101noreply@blogger.com
