a lesson learned

14 July 2009

So I noticed something today about an old friend, through the stalker tool that is Facebook, and.. it’s bugging me. Unnecessarily and annoyingly. And as I’ve often felt before, I got that urge to blast my frustrations on this blog. Maybe this is a sign of maturity but that doesn’t seem like a very good idea anymore. In the past I deemed this as censoring myself and why should I do that on my own blog, etc etc. But you know, there’s a difference between being honest on your blog and sharing too much personal information (especially if you’re not ready for the aftermath – ie. people you don’t want knowing this information reading it and possibly exploiting it). Don’t get me wrong. I like sharing on here. Whether it’s the latest song I’m obsessed with (FYI: The Luckiest by Ben Folds), a silly music video (see previous entry), how I celebrated my birthday or whatever. But like most things in life, there should be some kind of line. A balance. A line where if you stupidly (or naively) cross it and later get crap for it.. well maybe you were sort of asking for the drama you got afterwards. And believe me, I am all about living drama free.

And with that, I’ve shared all that I’m willing to share on this public forum about today’s frustration. I’ll leave the real details and actual venting to my friends (aren’t you guys lucky!).
