Censorship in Blogging

As I read other people's blogs, I sometimes get a case of blog-envy. You see, a good deal of family and friends have the address to this blog. Which is ok, don't get me wrong. I gave the address out myself. However, this leads me to censor myself some. There have been times when I spilled out my deepest feelings here only to have them thrown back in my face.

Isn't this a place for me? To write to my hearts content. To spill out anger and frustration. To shout out the love that is bursting from inside me.

Why is it then that I have to hide my feelings? Is this really for me. Or is it to present the best image of myself for others to see?

Am I allowed to have bad days? Should they all be good? If I bitch about my boyfriend does that make him a bad guy? If I'm pissed off at a friend does that mean we aren't friends any more? Or am I just living life the way it is. With all it's ups and downs. With all the triumphs and trials.

Take me for what I am. Don't make me be someone I'm not. Be prepared for a more emotional me. Don't get hurt feelings. Don't get all defensive for me. Just let me be me.
