And I think that even when we write in public domain, we struggle with that balance, because there is always a chance that someone from your &#39;real&#39; life stumbles onto your most intimate thoughts. And there is always some *cough* nice person that will dislike what you have to say, no matter who you are or what you have to say.<br />It was lovely to meet you too :)Vanessahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07973754120854307377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1426786369155262636.post-2353740169795200782009-10-17T20:06:57.612+02:002009-10-17T20:06:57.612+02:00Hey.... <br /><br />Yes... blogging in the public domain does bite one in the ass every now and again. It is hurtful when it happens as one is often misunderstood and sometimes things are not taken as one means it (make me wonder about my writing ability that - did I not express myself well enough?). :( <br /><br />Generally, I believe writing is healing for the hurting, or the one that needs expression that has so many words inside that it just has to come out... <br /><br />I never, ever write with the aim to be hurtful or cause upset. I am not big on intentionally upsetting anyone.. I hate confrontation far too much to do that!... however, sometimes the things I write about is seen as being too open (and I sometimes end up getting hurt), pushing the envelope ... to thy own self be true?<br /><br />Nice meeting you today and look forward to getting to know you better. :)<br /><br />Love<br />Wenchy xWenchyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03034000885444098456noreply@blogger.com
