(I am now typing on a real computer, my ipod died after the word 'can').
I vowed to never be one of those people who broadcast their life, and their woes in particular, to the whole world. Honestly, I would rather keep all my problems and sorrows bottled up inside then bother other people with my burdens. Unhealthy, some might say. But everyone has their ways of dealing with things.
On the other hand, I am not the type to pop back up in a year or two to say, "oh by the way I got married and have a child now." I am of the opinion that good news should be shared. (Meaning an engagement.)
I also vowed to never discuss shidduchim and dating like it was a an item on the menu. Whether people talk about shidduchim bitterly, or put a humorous spin on it, I am of the opinion that it shouldn't be discussed, period, besides for with parents and close friends.
So if I can't talk about dating here, and I can't tell you what I'm really feeling and thinking and what is really going on in my life, then what can I say?
Sometimes silence is best.
I will be sojourning soon to another country for the occasion of my friend's wedding. It is a country we call our neighbors, but I don't give it much credence. Tis called the land of the Canadians.
Toronto, here I come.
That is where I feel being anonymous helps. It enables you to write completely unhindered. Silence is fine, I'm the type that really keeps it all bottled up, but eventually you need some sort of outlet. And hey, the Canadians better neighbors than the Mexicans :)
ReplyDeleteHere in T.O. we r now in middle of a real cold spell. It's supposed to warm up over the next couple days, but that comes together with more snow, adding to our already 4 foot high piles. So enjoy :)
PR?
What's PR?
ReplyDeleteIt was what I'm now guessing was a poor guess attempt...
ReplyDeleteI find it very hard to write a blog on anything smaller than my fist. Can't seem to make it do what i want it to. Good-sized keyboard for me. But then again it's not like there is anything better to do at the laundrymat. And silence sometimes is the best: "If a word is worth a penny then silence is worth two" i think you can communicate a lot through silence sometimes. "knowledge is knowing how to talk, wisdom is not using that knowledge".

Tis why your blog is all aflutter with tales of ice storms, kinderlach baking and garbage fires - you bottle up everything important in your life.
ReplyDeleteBTW - blogs really ARE no place for true feelings to be discussed - much like facebook, no one really cares about other people's lives - they have their own issues to deal with.
But this is PRECISELY why very few people should have blogs - it's extremely difficult to have interesting things to say about nothing. Few can pull it off.
Just my thoughts on the subject.
N8- thanks. I thought it was "knowledge is knowing when to talk, wisdom is knowing when to keep quiet." Or something like that.
ReplyDeleteAnd Nisiya is a trip. I ain't going nowhere.
ES- the important things get said to the important people in my life. You get the leftovers.
I guess I'm one of the few who can pull it off.
Thanks for the advice. Someone recently told me: "It's your blog, you can share whatever the heck you want or don't want." There you have it. If you don't want to read my blog then don't.
Well put. One of the reasons why I post so randomly yet always read others' blogs (even if my phone won't always let me comment!) is because it's so rare that what i can share and what i want to share coincide :s
ReplyDeletedon't worry, when the urge strikes just write a bunch of posts, or be like chanie and drop those incredibly annoying hints all the time. So tantalizing!!!
