moving on

I apologize for going away my dear tens of readers. I needed to take a break from some drama that befell me due to my site. It was an eye-opening week filled with disappointment, surprise, and familial enlightenment. Upon my return, I’ve decided to remove the option to leave comments on my site. I’ve realized that I’ve stopped writing for myself, and found that I’ve focused my thoughts more in attempts to garner comments. The problem with this is that lately, a few commenters have assumed that their knowledge of me is greater than it actually is.

I never realized just how public this forum has made my thoughts until now. I never realized that my family knew of this site and was pleasantly surprised to learn that my brother has been reading it for some time. I was saddened to find that my sister-in-law holds such a low view of who she thinks I am.

So from now on, if anyone wishes to leave a comment for me, please drop me an e-mail. You’ll find it on the left column or at the bottom of the page.

For those of you that read me regularly, and do not judge my life, thank you for your support. I never said I was perfect, the whole point of this site is to allow me to muddle thru my thoughts, to learn about myself by exploring my feelings, and to practice the art of writing.
