Yesterday, my friend Abby was talking about how much she likes reading personal blogs because it lets you inside their world, if not for just a moment. People put themselves out there, and expose so much of their lives and feelings, and it is really interesting to see how others live. I got to thinking about my blog, and if anyone were to read it if they would think that. I decided that the answer is no.

I think that when I started my blog I wanted a place to a)discuss my Wunzees and post my new ones, b)talk about other crafty things, c)just discuss what was going on in my life. The truth of the matter is, if its not about a movie I’m seeing, a project I’m working on, or a dinner I’m eating, there isn’t much substance to my blog. Sure, I have my Etsy Tag Mondays which keep it kind of crafty, but I’m not a food blog, I’m barely a craft blog, and I’m definitely not revealing enough about myself to make it a personal blog. So how do I change this? I don’t really know if I do.

I think that in order for my blog to take some shape, I need to have a singular focus, and do other things on the exterior. Planning an event, having a baby, etc…those all make good solid blog topics. However, no event to plan thus far, and I’m not pregnant.

Discussing my thoughts and feelings likely won’t start to overcome this blog. I don’t know what I’m afraid of.  I think that if my blog were anonymous and people didn’t know it was me writing it…sure, bring on the feelings. This is what I’m thinking though. I’m not going to talk about relationship woes on my blog, because a)I don’t really have any, and b)my boyfriend and friends read my blog. I’m not going to talk about family or finance or friends woes, because my family and friends are basically the only ones who read my blog. I’m also not going to talk about work issues because someone I work with might read my blog.

If and when something awesome happens…you bet I’ll write about it, but the everyday thoughts and feelings I have, I just don’t feel comfortable writing about. Feelings could get hurt. I might offend people with my written words, stuff I would never consider saying  to them in person. Maybe that makes me a bad blogger…I don’t know. What I do know though, is I will continue to write this way for now…silly, not terribly exciting blog entries, without a whole lot of depth, and some photos or silly image (like below). Trust me…its for the best. You probably don’t want to know what I’m thinking anyway.
