One of my fellow bloggers wrote about having some self doubt today. I'm rather full of that, whether it be as a mother, a wife, a friend, a writer, but most importantly relevant for this post, I have uncomfortable amounts of self doubt in regards to this blog.
I have often times changed the settings to private, only to change it back to open to the public the next day. I worry that people will stop reading my other blog after reading how incredibly bitchy I can be in this blog. My two blogs are synonymous with Dr. Jeckle and Ms. Hyde. One is happy and bubbly and the other is unhappy and pessimistic. Granted, in all reality, that is who I am. My husband often complains because he never knows "Which Mary" he's going to get every day. It's quite frustrating, because I often wonder the same.
So what do my few readers think. Should change my "Dark and Twisty" Blog settings back to private? Do you think I am bound to scare everyone away from my primary blog? Or do you enjoy my often pessimistic and irritatingly crank-pot ramblings?

Just my opinion, but I like having both. I think of your other as the primary blog, but enjoy being able to keep up with this side of things too...especially since I don't get to talk to you as much as I'd like! And besides, truth be told, I'm jealous of you being able to do this stuff. I've been thinking lately about how much I wish I could blog about how I'm feeling and what's going on in life, but given my line of work, I can't. Most of what I want to write about is feeling lost at work, and hoping to find others who can relate, butI feel like that's probably a bad idea considering.... But yes, so...since I'm jealous, you have to continue. And know that it really helps others to identify with you. Because even if it feels like no one understands completely, because, well, they can't...people still are able to identify with parts of your life. And it helps us too! or me at least... I can't help that the "Lonely" post struck a huge cord... believe it or not, I'm feeling very much the same in certain ways. But now that I've made little to no sense, make your decision based on you and how you feel and how much of your heart you want to put out there, because in the end, it only matters how you feel about it.
Wow Jess..your comment was longer than my blog post ;)
Well I could keep it open to just you! I know I can't scare you away (I've already tried...hahahaha...just kidding!!!) But I still wonder if this blog will make people not want to read the other blog. Call me paranoid (cuz I am and I totally won't be offended!) but I am afraid people will think I am crazy (which I am totally that too!)
Like I said, in the end you need to do what makes you feel right and happy and all that jazz. Just don't shut me out! :P Hrm. There we go, I can start a blog. You'll be the only person who reads it and can deal with my complaining LOL haha. Anyway. I'm ramblin' today. Do what makes you happy and content! :)
That's what I was thinking for you...why not just start an Anonymous blog? I'd read it ;) We could have crabbing and bitching blogs together!!!
And I would never shut you out. You're probably the closest to anyone who would understand half the ramblings I do anyhow!
PS I just started a new book and I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! But it's WAY different!
That's interesting. I don't know if I've read the other one. I go to this one because it's the first one listed on your profile. Maybe you can change the order, if the other's supposed to be the main one? As for this one, I like it.

Lynnette,
Yeah unfortunately it won't let me switch the order. I will have to think about this one.
Thanks for liking it though!
I bet they're just listed in alphabetical order ;)
Hrm. I'm going to have to think about that blog idea. I think it would be fun :)
And YAY new book!!! I can't wait to hear about that one. BTW, I can start reading on June 9th ;)
Like Lynnette, I thought this was the main one because of the order. :) I like that you are real. But I know too, that for personal friends, the ones that are always down are the ones I tend to avoid. I can't believe I just said that out loud (online!) I like a balance, because no one is ever down all the time (well, I know a few) and no one is ever up all the time. I like to know "all" of a person...the good and the bad. I celebrate with the good and mourn/gripe with the bad. Just my two cents! :)
Well it doesn't show on my profile anymore....BUT it is still open to the public. So it's kinda the best of both worlds. I try not to be the downer friend, thus starting a blog to kinda out some frustrations. I like to hide the dark and twisty side of me :) But points well taken Sherrinda, and feel more than welcomed to get to know "all" of me :) Just don't forget to visit the happy me too!!! I like her :D
I like the happy you too! And the dark and twisty one! :) Isn't it great to have two sides?? Ok, maybe sometimes not :) But it sure makes life interesting!
