I'm not sure what I want to do with this blog. I like writing it, as I like writing in general, and I've always wanted to see if I could do it in non-legal way that wasn't completely terrible. It is also, for lack of a better term, a type of "journal" about this amazing stage in my life that I will actually keep up.
But sometimes it feels very a little vain and attention whore-ish, as well as oversharing-ish and maybe even know-it-all-ish (even though I don't know it all, and sometimes I don't think I know anything at all.) And, let's face it, it totally is vain and attention whore-ish, as the only reason I will actually keep it up whereas I would never keep up with a normal journal is because I want people to read it and I want people to like it, and sometimes I'm really proud of my posts.
So, I don't know where I'm going. I've made this blog very public and repeatedly (and probably obnoxiously) linked to it from facebook. But I share some very private things, and while I try to shut up the voices in my head who really, really worry about what other people think, they take over sometimes and I get all fidgety and mortified that I have shared what I've shared and I want to shut it down or delete it or make people sign in to read it.
I'm not fishing for any feedback, I just wanted to be honest and say that that's where I am today. Tomorrow I'll probably be all, screw it, who cares what they think, I like doing it so I'm going on. And then I'll lay awake at night freaking out about the fact that I shared those pictures of my pregnant belly.
I don't want to go all Sybil on you, but I'm really not sure which voice is going to win.
