Blog-City has given notice it is closing it's doors at the end of 2011.
So...my quandary is this...
Blog-City is the inner me. It is on an open link for people to search for on key words and has some followers that I've known for an age. But these followers are people I trust implicitly. These are people that grew up with me in another age online. These people would never betray my thoughts to anyone who could harm me.
This place on the other hand allows for much more freedom. For people to poke and pry and delve into parts of me that I don't want to share.
I know I can block people viewing. I know I can share with who I want but this site is so much more accessible and I'm not sure I want to let the world see the real me.
I know people say what you see is what you get but it's simply not true.
What you see is what we want you to see.
All of us have small secrets we want to keep hidden and so it should be.
None of us really know ourselves. We are constantly exploring and finding things that we didn't know.
I have some friends who follow this blog and although I would count them as close friends, I don't know that I want them to see everything.
The other site...well, that was part of my growing up...full of friends I loved and trusted with my life...friends I knew only online...never met, but friends all the same.
People who are like minded.
People who don't pick a fight for the sake of it.
People who don't judge a person badly.
People who learn to see the person and their words.
People who have a liking for the words.
People who understand the need to stay silent at times.
People who don't over-analyse things all the time.
Just people...who I am closer to than people I know face to face.
Just people who accept what I am.
Just people who don't feel the need to bitch and backstab.
Just people who don't think they know better than me.
So do I want to share this site and it's postings.
Time will tell
