should I stay or should I go, now???

I am not sure where I am going with this, yet. All I know is that I can't keep going the same direction I have been.

I have made it no secret that I have become quite jaded about my online life. It all started with the complete dissolution of a group that formed when we were all pregnant together...more than five years ago. While I am glad to be free of that yoke (I still have contact with those whom I have chosen to remain in contact with), the whole fiasco really clouded my online experience.

I have also seen too many people have their words, their images and for some, even their lives "stolen". I don't want to expose my family to that risk, any more than I already have.

I am also not sure I want to share so much of myself on the interweb, anymore. This place has become way too comfortable for me...and so I was maybe sharing just a tad more than I needed to. When my mom caught wind of my latest gripe (and as far as I knew, she wasn't even aware that this place existed) I had mostly decided to save all of my old posts and either start fresh or fade away.

That is where I am, right now. standing at the crossroad, not sure which way I want to go.

However this all ends up, I want to say thanks to those of you who have made this journey with me...and who have allowed me to travel with you on yours.

Hmmmm.....I totally understand the discomfort that you can feel. I hope you are able to come to a comfortable decision. AND, I hope you stay :D (at least keep a foot in the door...or maybe a big toe.) Keep in touch...if you care to, anyway.

I totally understand what you mean! I have felt that way many times. However anonymous we think we are someone always seems to find out! I hope you continue! I love reading your site, but will respect your decision either way ;)

I've been blogging myself for nearly three years now, but I know what you mean. When I've felt uncomfortable about my blog being public, I've made it private and only invited a few select readers in. Regardless, I do what I feel is best for me to do.

And you must do the same for yourself. I'll miss you if you go, but I'll understand.

Sounds like you and I are in the same boat...
