Blog writing is so therapeutic. It enables you go write and share your deepest darkest thoughts about people you know with complete strangers. It is somewhat of Catch 22 as you want to share your thoughts and feelings but not with the people who are the subjects of the posts.
This week I have a case of bloganoia. and have temporarily removed the posts which are producing this condition and hopefully, I will recover soon.
Does anyone else ever experience this condition? Is it akin to writer's remorse?

Hello!
I think the mistake I made was mentioning that I write. I've found its best to not mention this to a dude. Friends usually wont mention it.
No worries! People can get mad when you're writing how you feel, but that doesn't mean its justified for them to feel that way.
Thanks for giving me a kick in the butt to repost the entries now suspended in blogger purgatory. I haven't shared the blog with anyone except for CIT and my GBF.
Yes, I can totally relate!
