I used to only share the happy moments thinking I was sparing my reader from boring stuff, but then, like you, I realized it was fear. Last week I talked about depression, and the e-mails and comment started pouring in thanking me. Now I realize that we need a little more "raw reality" every now and then. It's refreshing. I can't wait to read more of your honesty! xomonster cakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12522711791058564755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699693038908396892.post-66185541333298327402011-10-21T11:09:16.597-07:002011-10-21T11:09:16.597-07:00I definitely catch myself doing some editing.

It took a lot of guts to share a really big piece of me on my blog a few weeks back because I kept wondering "what if..." but then I got good feedback. No judgement, nothing that I had anticipated. So being ourselves and editing ourselves are both a-okay!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00264648257398440130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699693038908396892.post-11133417748655944522011-10-20T22:37:25.974-07:002011-10-20T22:37:25.974-07:00I really don't edit a ton.

In all reality, I find myself to be very optimistic and grateful and happy. I feel misunderstood often, but it's my own fault. I'm the one who let's it all out on my blog! It's my way to get my emotions out though, and so I take the consequences and hope people realize I really am so happy.

Second, I'm glad you wrote this. I'm at a point in my life where I'm really diving deep into finding out who I truly am. My world recently got turned upside down soon after I started my blog, and it's been interesting and frustrating to find the balance between writing about my life and staying true to myself while also "editing" myself.<br /><br />I appreciate the bloggers I've come across that open up about hardships and struggles because I personally find it much easier to relate to those people than the ones who just post on fashion and materialistic things, although those posts are always fun! However, I know many people just want the sunshine and rainbows approach. Do what you are comfortable with and just be sure to stay true to YOU. I've found myself trying to please others and in doing so, I would lose myself and my voice. Like you said, we can only express so much of ourselves through our blogs :)Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14167691214663205067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699693038908396892.post-43743049184010561192011-10-20T15:48:29.978-07:002011-10-20T15:48:29.978-07:00Hi there!

You had commented a while back when I was moving from NYC to SF and I realized I never wrote back! I constantly struggle with how much to share. I think ultimately, you sort of "grow into your blog," and slowly discover how much you are willing to share. I've amazed myself at how much I've shared with absolute strangers and I always seem to get a more positive response when I do. Anyway, now that I'm a follower, I encourage you to share as much as you're comfortable with! I love when I can decipher a little about someone's personality through their writing.Ryder Sloan Eventshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133112770603252679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699693038908396892.post-4236712569379816992011-10-19T23:48:01.637-07:002011-10-19T23:48:01.637-07:00I have felt like some people make certain assumpti...I have felt like some people make certain assumptions about me based on my blog. And Yes, I do find myself editing quite a lot because I do not want to offend people, as well as people getting very angry. I need to work on this. I'm not one to care what people think, and I do not hide my religious matters, or anything i believe. I do hide how i feel at times. But it's my blog--I should say what I feel, as long as it isn't..you know..completely explicit if you know what i mean. this was a good && needed post. thank you.Amanda Schroederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13730445996277619629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699693038908396892.post-33946887686086010982011-10-19T22:14:53.111-07:002011-10-19T22:14:53.111-07:00the best thing about this medium is that it's ...the best thing about this medium is that it's all yours. this your space to write and express...to be. we're just merely invited....and happy to be here.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04016963796201775781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699693038908396892.post-51666240739660660422011-10-19T21:16:19.920-07:002011-10-19T21:16:19.920-07:00Very well put love.

I'm not too much of an editor on my blog-- the way I see it, it's my blog for my thoughts, ideas, and feelings, and if you choose to read my blog, you are subjecting yourself to how I see the world. That being said, I only have 50 follower and not 1,000+ and so I've never had a hater come talk smack to me. But I love blogs where I feel like I get to know people well and I hope to be like that as well.Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06532899712985168672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699693038908396892.post-47907006995718148162011-10-19T12:06:54.574-07:002011-10-19T12:06:54.574-07:00i think you should definitely be as honest as you ...i think you should definitely be as honest as you want, but should never feel pressure to put your whole life on a bloggy! it's just a place to document and tell stories and share whatever things you want, if you ask me :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699693038908396892.post-45113872839902405822011-10-19T11:16:11.972-07:002011-10-19T11:16:11.972-07:00I do think that you can give too much information ...I do think that you can give too much information on a blog - like the one your sister did.
