As a blogger I have found that certain topics just don’t work out for writing on my blog, without getting lots of snide comments from people who just fully don’t understand situations (which kind of goes back to what I said the other day about negative comments, even though I concentrated on negative review comments!)
In the past I was VERY open about certain topics that I am no longer so open about and you rarely see me write anything about. This goes back to when I had a blog beforehand and I was even more “OPEN” on it than I ever was on here. It isn’t that I hold back to many things but here are some of the ones I have wrote about in the past that I try to shy away from and only mention now and then or in a private post
1. money problems. because I get the whole “why do you not have a real job” spill. Honestly, the more money we have the more we spend, having 2 cars isn’t practical and I do pretty well supporting us with online work! However, every now n then you run into something stupid like interest going sky high on a credit card or something else come up! Also, yeah we might not have a lot of money but our bills are always first then all the goodies we probably don’t need!
2.relationship problems because goodness knows I have had a few. I am no longer in that honeymoon stage of my relationship with david and we have had some major issues. However, things have gotten much better for the most part. I am sure most couples have fights and whatnot, I just choose to be a little more detailed and honest about ours. Details & Honesty have always been a downfall for me!
I am sure there are a few others but those are 2 of the main ones. I also don’t state my opinions a lot on controversial issues like abortions, politics, etc because let me just say right off the bat i’m a conservative republican and I know the majority of my readers and blogger friends don’t share those beliefs with me, so there isn’t any reason to really go there I suppose. Sometimes i’d like to get more into it, but never have and unless something really miffs me I probably never will.
Sometimes I really want to write about these things because I feel hey, this is my blog I can write whatever the heck I want, but then again I just am not a person that handles backlash or negativity well. Even though, some people can be very tasteful in the things that they say I don’t like those who can’t say something constructive and want to tear me apart for whatever joy they get out of it!
How open are you on your blog? What sorts of topics do you just not write about and why?
