So, I have been around a while now and I have decided that it is time we have a little chat. For the most part, I am happy here. I really like what you have done with the place! I am updated fairly regularly, so I don't get too lonely. However, I do think there is room for improvement. No, no, no, not in reference to the frequency of your posts but more specifically, the content.
What I want to know is, what is my purpose? You have created me, your personal space in this world wide web to write about and document your life. What I see the most of is your kids. Pictures of your kids, stories of your kids, etcetera, etcetera. Yeah, that is nice and all, but I want MORE! Don't get me wrong, writing down what your kids are up to on any particular day will most likely be forgotten if you don't write it here, so please do! Honestly, I am ready for more of YOU! I know that you have thoughts, ideas, trials, and joys. You know those journals that you have tucked away in a drawer? You don't write there anymore. A little bird told me (okay, the owner of this blog did) that you used to write in those books all of the time! Well, at least up until the time you had babies. Now as those books gather dust, your thoughts go flying away without any place to land! Put them here, put them here!
I know you want to. I have seen you write many things down and then quickly delete for fear that it is too raw, that you might feel too exposed if you publish it. Rubbish! This space, this journal, is YOURS! You are writing this for YOU. Yes, it is public and people stop by from time to time to see what is going on. Don't want to know what people think? Turn off your comments. I want to get to know this author of mine on a deeper level. You have been at this for a while, so maybe you can open up a little?
Please note that dirty conversations that you have with your spouse while between the sheets and what any kid's poop happens to look like on any given day are things that I just don't need to know about. And neither does anyone else. Please keep those to yourself, okay?
