I understand the sentiment about your blog xD it's pretty much why i don't write anything tooooo personal, those i keep in my journal xD i do like reading your entries tho! I saw someone on neocities that have a journal page but they censor the more personal stuff, maybe that could be an idea for you... Also can't wait for the oyster mushroom perfume review!

coffee plant, that’s very interesting and the complete opposite of my problem. i have no issue with people irl finding me, but am worried about online strangers knowing too much. agree with kuroi above, i try to keep my site focused and the personal stuff in my offline journal :)

don’t worry about stressing people out though, your opinions and ramblings are always welcome!

soooooo real, both the blog portion and the job search, its a hard balance between wanting to share and sharing too much, and good luck on the job search and the fellowship! :)

thank you all for your input!! i worry less about revealing too much information about myself, and more about expressing too much vulnerability hahaha. its far easier to be vulnerable while anonymous as opposed to vulnerable in front of people who truly know me in person. Maybe I will go back through and censor the more vulnerable parts of my blog posts at some point.

though you are all very kind. and it's nice to feel comfortable being vulnerable in front of you all. :)

No worries, coffee! Its one of the things i really like on the indie web, people are more free to be unique and vulnerable around here, and i think its what makes all the interactions more meaningful. Even if we cant interact directly on a blog post, just reading them brings that feeling of closeness in a way. It's really nice
