Freeing Up Precious Brain Space

One of the most challenging things about writing a blog, is thinking about who is my audience. Who is taking the time to read my random thoughts, and are they worthy of being read?

I am conscience when I write, reminding myself I don't want to hurt anyone I love or care about. That would never be my intent, it is just not who I am.

I write what comes to mind, and writing the words sets them free from consuming my thoughts. Maybe in a weird way, it frees up precious brain space. Unfortunately, as much as I try not to sanitize the words I write, I know it can't be avoided if I am putting it out there for the world to see. Oddly, it is easier to think of strangers reading my blog, than my friends and family.

Imagine, someone you have never met finding and reading your journal. Now imagine, someone you know, finding and reading your journal, and reading your private thoughts about them. Big difference.

It is never my intent to hurt anyone, these are just my random thoughts, nothing more. Just freeing up some precious brain space.
