Here, let me give you access to my soul in HTML format...


Know what I realized? Blogging is a little scary. Seriously. Think about it: The whole idea behind having a webpage is to provide OPEN ACCESS to your soul. It's like, "Ok, folks, I'm going to unlock the door to my deepest depths, so feel free to come on in!" This is fine (intimacy is a good thing!) except you can't be selective about it. It's like this: When you need to share your heart with someone, you generally sit down with an old and trusted friend over a nice cup of hot chai, actually make eye contact, and say what needs to be said. And when you write on a webpage, you're probably writing as if you were talking to a trusted friend. Yet, in reality, you're saying things that you might never say to a group of people. And this is why blogging is an exercise in letting go. No control freaks here. Right...=)

yeah i think i agree with you. i find when i write, i tend to sometimes regret what i said and want to change it. i will always elect for having a face to face sit down with an old friend though. 8 million times better.
