Wrote a post and put it in draft mode as I felt as though I were walking on a high beam with a safety net. As I’m scared of heights, lack proper depth perception, and tend to be clumsy, the high beam would immediately freak me, I would become dizzy, want to throw up and be paralyzed. What good’s a safety net?
There is no real safety net in blogging except for your own boundaries. I’m willing to cross many, but not willing to be stuck on the edge of the high beam.
I wrote about the long term effects of being disorganized. Though it’s a problem that I didn’t make nor did I ever want in my life, it has always been a shame that I hold close to my heart though I do talk about it.
I make it and me sound pathetic when in reality it’s not nor am I, but when you’ve spent your life fighting a problem that refuses to be solved, it feels more immense than finding the spot where the magic stone is that uncovers the key to life, and not being able to dig deep or hard enough.
I have conquered most of the problem; it’s that last little bit that will stop the paralysis and allow me to finish what I have begun that I can’t conquer. If I could further explain it, it would no longer be a problem.
On that note, I end for now.




“If I could further explain it, it would no longer be a problem.”
I loved that sentence. It resonates very true and real to me.
I know what you mean about battling something that seems trivial to others…
I have the same problem while blogging- how public do I want to get? What information or experiences should I withhold, and what do I reveal? It’s a quandry most bloggers face, especially as I use my real identity while blogging!
That would be the topic of a linear post.
The last sentence is great as noted. I never write about personal things or things really about; I admire people who can.
Seperating the person - who you really are, deep inside, on the other side of the monitor - from the public persona is never an easy task. I know it was that way in radio for me…how do you keep yourself safe in spite of a need to reach out and share your thoughts? You have no reason to feel shame, whatever the reason. You’re right. Its all about boundaries…
