Regretful

By: Mona
.......................

Honestly, I think the biggest thing I have ever regretted doing is telling people about my blog. I really do. I use it as a medium for thoughts and discussions. I wanted a place to write stuff out that bother me or amuse me. The reason my blog is popular because it is so unpredictable. I am unpredictable and my life is too. I wanted it to be a home away from home. People are taking it way too seriously to the point that I lost my identity and I can’t explain this or that to them or the true intention to what I was trying to say. I lost who I really am as a person by a bunch of words that I have written. I liked being a quiet person who barely talked. I was better off. I think I mentioned this a million times that I regretted ever making this blog or writing. It caused far too many problems, and I don’t know what to do. But my biggest problem is I told people I know, and I never knew why. Maybe I wanted people to read about how I really thought or what I would have thought instead. Maybe I just have many view points about a certain matter that I can’t come up with one unless I am sitting alone on my computer thinking about it and making a final judgment of it.

I am just thinking of closing down the site. I think I am also at a point in my life that I really don’t feel like talking about anything personal anymore, and that was the intention of this blog.

Or maybe I need to steer the direction of my writing, but I don’t know how or why I should. I have to think about this more.

    It would suck to see you go, but it is ultimately up to you. I find it interesting to read some of these posts, because I’m usually stuck questioning related things as well. Its nice to see someone else view of things every now and then.

    Hi Mona.
    It would be awful to see you go, or see your blog closed, but as Brandon said, it is totally up to you. If you feel this is for the better, then you gotta do what you gotta do.

    If it wasn’t for this website, I would have never blogged my thoughts, ever. I always read your blog, daily, I check its RSS more than I check my mail! just – give it another thought.

    Of course your life is yours, so are your choices, I just hope there would be another solution, please.

    R,
    Ahmed

    I would be sorry to see you go. Maybe you could open a new blog, with a new Identity? Then we could still read you (if we find it), and those who know you don’t need to know (unless you tell them again :roll: )
    but it is your decision in the end…

    As frankly I knew your blog while dropping cards on Entrecard members, at first I don’t read your articles but just drop card and go away (because I don’t like dark theme), but after changing this new theme, I started to read your articles and know your thoughts, then only I new that I am missing one of the jewel among millions of blog and regretting myself why I don’t read such a nice blog, after reading some of the previous articles here it helps me to understand what is life, relation, friends, and different between real blog and blogging its true life is not easy as we dreams or think, it is unpredictable too.

    Please do not close down your site, it’s upon you weather you want to write anything personal or not? You can write on any topics, as your hobbies, knowledge or advice which don’t affect you personal life and feelings, your writing style is very nice, you express your thoughts very clearly.

    At the last every problem is temporary; every problem has its peak, and then its downhill all the way. “To keep a lamp burning we have to keep putting oil in it.” hope you will understand what I want to say because my English is not good so some time sentence makes different meaning to hahahahahaha :)

    Hell no – please don’t go.
    Consider talking about the weather or news items or something. I understand the need to limit the personal information but based on the comments alone I think it is fair to say you would be missed. If nothing else, become a writer at Canucklehead! Of course, the decision is yours – keep in touch. :huh:

    Ultimately you have to do what you are comfortable with and that is understandable. Whoever you told about your blog they probably have issues with the content and it would be sad to see this close down but at the same time you have every right to do and write what you wish since this is your site. I vent on my blog…sometimes I want to say more however I try not to reveal too much to the point where people I know read and wonder about the things I have done or will do. In the end you have really touched quite a few people who’ve read your posts and for the good or bad…you are really something else (in a great way). :heart:

    I understand exactly what you’re talking about. It happened to me. Pretty soon people were moaning and crying about what I was writing. I didn’t get it because the whole purpose of Fab Jinxed is for ME to vent. Bah!

    My advice is to take a small break. Get a blogger blog with a secret identity for a while. Then come back with a vengeance. Don’t let ‘em get you down.

    Don’t ever tone your own words down for the benefit of other people. People enjoy reading you because you’re you, not because you’re more like… whatever. Let the whiners go. :yes:

    I would miss you if you stopped blogging but if this blog is giving you grief then you gotta do what is necessary. :sad: Even if you don’t blog anymore you can keep an old fashion private diary of your thoughts.

    I had the very same problem a few years ago, and it created such drama that I just shut down the site. To this day I regret that choice. I regret letting those people get the best of me.

    This is your blog to write about what pleases you, and you don’t owe anyone an explanation about how you feel.

    I started with a new blog this year, and I haven’t told any of my family about the site, but if they find it and read it and don’t like it, well then oh well…. too bad for them.

    Take a small break if you must, but don’t let other people get the best of you.

    No!!! You can’t go. Please don’t go!!! I understand your position; it is a difficult one indeed…but you can start *another* blog and keep it private for your real-life peeps…just make sure you share it with us, your loyal loving fans!
    Seriously, you would be severely missed!!!

    I’ve been there, done that, and I came crawling back. At first it was under a different name – but that didn’t last long because I didn’t like pretending. Eventually, I just waited long enough and the people from my ‘real life’ stopped coming by and I am able to continue on now as I please. Though I still practice some discretion with names and especially names of places I work… but I do feel like it was good to get away for a little while.

    I hope that you can find it in yourself to come back if you do go away. It would certainly be a sad loss to the blogging world.

    Please don’t! You are the only blogger I can relate to. You also inspire me to write more than any other blogger.

    I regret using my name for my blog! I also regret telling everyone I know! But I did, and that has in some ways thats helped me. I may have pissed many people off, and i may have lost some friends… But my blog is the only place I have to say what I think. Its the only voice I have that people can not stop or argue with.

    Your a rebel! And your you! You need to read back and find the old you.

    I know what you are feeling though I don’t write about myself.
    My advise would be to take no attention to that and keep up the good work!
