is my blog my true self
After a good friend of mine from high school read my blog, he said,
I just spent a few minutes fishing around your blog site -- it was really fun! I feel like I got a hold of some of your journals or something. It definitely sounded like you... One thing that surprised me about your blog is how mormon you seem. I think that I'm projecting when I say that I would have thought you would have fallen away more.
It's a little odd to hear how I seem from the perspective of my blog. I mean, I think I am more Mormon than my friend realized. But, in some ways, I may be less Mormon (whatever that actually means) than my blog makes me out to be. I don't really know how I come across. It seems kind of complicated to me. My blog is a reflection of me, for sure. Sometimes I just wonder what picture folks have of me based on what I write.
Since this is a public forum, I keep that in mind. I don't have dark secrets that I'm withholding, but there are certain things that I'm not going to let lose about here.
You can get to know a piece of someone from what they write, but you never get the whole. That sounds a little needy and a little high school, but I'm not here to be understood. I mean, I want you to understand what I choose to write about, but I have no desire for my blog to be a complete representation of who I am.
