Blogging Hazards

Hazard #1: The-I-will-tell-you-everything-about-my-life-or-emotionally-vomit-into-cyberspace-sickness.

Nobody wants to read about EVERY detail of your life. And if you have to turn to cyberspace to feel heard, that's just depressing.

Hazard #2: Stranger Danger.

Putting up too much personal information about yourself can present a real safety issue.  I've experienced online stranger danger first-hand and it was creepy! I do NOT want to put myself in that situation again.

These two hazards are at the root of my dilemma about blogging. I want to share, but I don't want to share too much. Add on top of that the fact that my husband is in the military and so there are occasionally things I shouldn't really talk about... and I find myself hesitant to write anything at all.

And that's why I haven't written about our trip to Savannah, my birthday, or Patrick's graduation. At least I have good justification for being a terrible blogger, right?
