I feel like people know a lot about me, but I don't get too personal. I personally don't like a faceless blog. Am I too nosy? I don't know. You have to be really entertaining to not have any personal stuff out there. Even though you don't get deep, I still get a good sense of who you are, what you like and what you don't like. Your blog is one of my must reads. Does this help? Should I shut up now?

I think it's more because I don't know who's reading it that makes me uneasy about putting it all out there. Even though I'm so over it, my facebook is on complete lock down. But I'm also private on twitter and instagram. I've been seriously considering becoming unprivate on twitter because I think it would be more beneficial, but I also feel like you lose control over who exactly can see what you're posting. Right now I feel in control and know who's seeing what I say, ya know!!! Social media and the internet is weird and scary! ahhhhh life. hahaKarrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13513834817474329781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6578996577431253756.post-1232945290612931162013-11-14T07:44:20.358-06:002013-11-14T07:44:20.358-06:00I think it's a combination of both.

When I first started back up blogging I wanted to keep it more private with few details I feel less personal. I am horrible at actually keeping it that way, and more than likely I would let something slip before too long. It was too hard for me to be that private and to not share. I think, essentially, it is up to the blogger and how comfortable they feel.

I don't have as sexy of a pic with me and the Colonol... looks like maybe you got him to spill his secret recipe! ;P I have a facebook and instagram that I keep separate from my blog. Obviously as I grow more and get to know people better, I will choose to share it with certain people... I just don't feel comfortable putting it ALL out there. The reason for that is because I'm not the only one who is on my facebook and instagram... meaning I have pictures of my nieces and nephew and I don't think my sister would like those photos public. She actually has blogged for years and used to have a public blog, but made it private because there were people going around stealing pictures from blogs of children, and it made her VERY uncomfortable which I totally understand. That's the main reason. If it weren't for that, I probably wouldn't care. Sooooo... I guess I'm trying to respect everyone else's privacy.

I totally feel you on the pressure to write something amazing. I think all bloggers feel that at some point, so we are in this together! I think you should throw the rules out the window and write about what you want, when you want to, and how you want to. People will read based on their preferences no matter what you write!

Another thing that bothers me is that I find myself censoring myself too often on the blog. As much as I want to just let it all out there and tell it how it is, I have this god awful fear that a future employer/coworker will come across something and it will later bite me in the azz. See.. the censoring. There it is ha. But anyway.. I don't know why I have such a huge fear of the "wrong" person coming across my blog but I just do. I also feel like as much as I think this thing is a secret, everybody I know and their mother is probably reading. I sure hope not. It's not that the whole judging thing bothers me, because it doesn't. That won't bother me one bit! I just don't want it to hurt my professional life.

Mainly because I see some bloggers share everything on their blogs, and it makes me wonder if I'm being closed off or worse unwelcoming. I try to keep my private life some what private and share things on my blog about myself, but only certain things I'll go into detail. I do always try and keep a rule that I'll share what's comfortable about myself to share, and I'll try to leave my fiance or family out of it for the most part, because some people are more private. More importantly I keep my blog in the spirit of my personality. All my blog posts are written with "Jessness" !!

Other times, I feel like I can really connect with a blogger through her vulnerability. I suppose it's all on how it's packaged. The bloggers that are all about drama drama drama feel sorry for me lose me as a reader very quickly. Those who allow occasional vulnerability are endearing. I don't think you're the type to fall into the first group.

You will never see a post with my daughter's pictures in it, and I rarely do anything so exciting I feel like I should share and recap. <br /><br />I try to generate content that makes you laugh or think but I still worry that people wonder where my kid is and why I don't talk about my family and personal life more. <br /><br />I think as bloggers we make conscious decisions on what we are comfortable sharing and what we are not. I love your blog and so do tons of others, you don't have to share anything you don't feel comfortable with we come and read anyway.<br /><br />Just know that as a group I've found that bloggers are super supportive people when it comes to those who put their more personal stories on the web for all to see. So if you ever do decide to share we will come here and read then leave you thoughtful heartwarming comments. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6578996577431253756.post-69621251807269128162013-11-13T15:15:54.884-06:002013-11-13T15:15:54.884-06:00When I first started blogging, a couple of years a...When I first started blogging, a couple of years ago, I didn't really want anyone to read it. I just wanted to have an outlet. But I got bored with it and stopped blogging. Then I realized I loved reading other people's blogs and wanted to start a new one, and so I did. I am still trying to figure it all out, but now I want more people to read my blog. I want to share experiences. I want a happy medium as I don't want to put too much out there, but I want to document my life (wedding, trying to get pregnant, recipes, travel, etc.). So I am hoping it takes off more, but really scared at the same time.Sparkles and Latteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12963473872202413760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6578996577431253756.post-6090473961786734032013-11-13T15:00:45.087-06:002013-11-13T15:00:45.087-06:00That's a tough one, I honestly can't decid...That's a tough one, I honestly can't decide!
