So.
Not sure what to do. A while ago I linked to my friend's website, "Marriage Forward" in my blog, in support.
Not understanding the internet at all, it was only recently I found out that the link revealed my blog to her.
I told her I was a little wigged out that my blog wasn't anonymous anymore. She said in an email, "It can't be that anonymous! You always have comments on there!"
But...they aren't people I've even met! I'm not real....nevermind.
I don't know what to do folks. I'm hobbled. I have been trying to write some stuff and I keep censoring.
I made need to start over again.

I tend to write with the idea in mind that my friends or family may eventually stumble upon my blog. But I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve in real life, so there's not much difference. (Besides the fact that sometimes I reel the snark in a little, not wanting to be more ostrasized than necessary by the in-laws.)
That said, there's something really cathartic about sharing your thoughts in any form with total strangers. Please let me know if you change sites, I would love to keep reading your writing!
Imez, ya gotta keep writing. I'm one of those readers who doesn't know you personally, but I throughly enjoy the honesty and humor in your writing. I think Johnny's ex-wife reads my blog so I try to censor myself, but at the same time, ya gotta be who you are - and there's nothing to hide there. Keep on, sistah!
Yeah, i know how you feel. I don't know what to tell you though. I think you have to assume that, eventually, someone you know will find your blog.
Kinda sucks though.
I get it. I sometimes wish I'd made my blog anonymous, because I'm very censored there (as I generally am IRL). But as it turns out, the blog has helped me be a bit less censored, and for me, that's been a good thing.
But, I get it. If you do move, please find a way to let your blog friends know where you go. We won't give you up. Promise!
I'd be sad if I couldn't find you. You're one of my favorites.
You gotta move. And her e-mail comment doesn't make any sense.
I'm having similar issues. I can't decide whether to password protect or start over.
Please send me a change of venue if it comes to that.
i also find myself flutter on the edge of censorship and clandestine-cy (not even close to being a word...), because most of those around my blogosphere are people who know me, but not all are close friends. so being wholly open doesn't always feel like an option--or at leas it comes with great risk.
i also feel trapped--unable to write what i want, but wanting to nonetheless.
Wow. Same issue here. There is a way to choose your readers, or invite them, but it changes the possibility of someone just finding you through other blogs, etc. Just let us all know when you decide. I always check in on you!
Bring me along when you move.
