I just finished
reading my blogging bestie’s latest post and it left me with a strange and
somewhat disturbing thought......
Am I lucky to have
had Mr. X?
Her version of Mr. X
(Mr. M) recently discovered her blog, and well....he wasn’t a fan. He basically
reverted back to being a small child and stopped speaking her; which is
possibly the biggest fear among bloggers everywhere.
The fear isn’t that
they’ll read our inner most thoughts; the fear is they won’t understand that
it’s our thoughts. The fear is they'll read it as fact, black and white, when it’s
actually part of our process to work things out. The female brain is a
confusing place at the best of times and blogging is a way to unconfuse it. We
write about what we feel and what we feel changes, involves, it’s not us being
“mean” it’s us trying to balance the sane and crazy parts of our brains.
Mr. X understood
that, he understood women talk and need to blow off steam; and for me, my blog
is the place I do that. In a strange way Mr. X liked my blog, unlike most
women, he knew what I was thinking and what I had to say when he wasn’t around.
He took my blog for what it is, my crazy brain exploding in word form.
Her Mr. M didn’t get
it; he was offended by her words, which makes no sense to me; blogging isn’t
really your words, it’s your thoughts and feelings; people think not nice thoughts
all day long. There is a disconnect (for most people) between the things you
think and the things you say. There is a filter (or so I hear) that stops
people saying things that might offend others. Blogging is like routine
maintenance on that filter It’s a way to clean it so one day it doesn’t snap
and you start saying things that will land you in trouble. Mr. M; like lots of
men doesn’t understand that.
Which leads me back
to the question that started it all; “am I lucky to have had Mr. X?”
I have no answer for
that question; right now it’s just crazy and sane fighting it out in my head so
I shall leave you guys with this; why do you blog and does it complicate your
relationships?
As always stay and
play safe,
The Honest Bitch
