As I mentioned before, I’ve been thinking of coming out of the bloggy closet and making myself known again.
When I first started blogging, I was all out there, using my name, location and everything. Then my siblings started reading my blog. My husband started pastoring a church and frankly we didn’t want all our stuff out there for all the world to read and use against us in real life.
I like anonymity. With it I can be honest and free on my blog. I can freak out, and say whatever is on my mind. I have alot on my mind lately, and not enough time to write about it. But if I was out there with my name and piccies, then I wouldn’t be able to do that. For fear of my thoughts and opinions coming back and biting me in the tushie.
Tushie… isn’t that a funny word. Say it out loud. Tushie. You can’t help but smile when you say it.
Ok, now back to the subject at hand.
I dont’ think, at least for now, that I will make myself known again. I don’t feel safe. I guess I have been burnt enough online to know that just as soon as I put my real name on here, someone will google me, and read all I have posted and then it will all start haunting me again. I can’t do that again. Been there, done that, got the scars to prove it.
So for now, anonymity is my friend.
Yeah, that’s a tricky decision.
I’ve found it’s safer to have an alias and then choose to be non-anonymous with people you trust, instead of just out there for internet searches to pick up.
I think what I hate about it the most, is having to substitute names! lol
