geminigirlI've been thinking a lot about the things I'm not posting here. And why not.
It's not that I don't want to share some of the stuff, because there's things I'd love to talk about...I've apparently become conscious of the fact that I've got an audience here...which is fine with me. I don't write for you all who read my journal, I write my journal for me, which is the way it should be. Some of it is serious, some silly, some glib, some sad...it's a variety of emotions and experiences, but it's certainly not whole. I try and minimize the actual use of names, including mine in the journal. I also make very very few "Friends only" posts-this is why I don't worry much about who I add to my "Friends" list, which is more about whose journals I read daily and whose journals I read less frequently than that as opposed to who gets to see the nitty gritty dirty parts of my own journal.
Should I post less fluff? Why do you read my journal? How did you find it? Do you ever find anything in it that you think is worth pointing someone else to? Is it just fine the way it is?
(Let me also insert that this came to mind because I was wondering about posting about what happened Friday night, which was a wonderful experience, but I'm not sure it fits in with the rest of the stuff you all have been reading. Do you want me to post it anyway, behind a cut tag so that you have fair warning about what might be included?)
