censoring myself
I censor myself when I write on here. I’m typically a what you see is what you get kind of guy. And my writing can show that. But, since I know I have many different ages and types of people reading this website coming from lots of different backgrounds, I try to appeal to the mass audience when I submit something for you to read. However, I’ve come to see I might have the ability to password protect some of the things I write on here, and thus could be a little more open at times.
Should I do this?
It’s not like I particularly NEED to censor myself in the first place. But, my language and/or material matter can offend people. There are topics that I don’t write about because I’m afraid of people’s reactions. I have a lot in my head, some of which shall never make it here, but some of which I wouldn’t mind putting here. I don’t know, I’m a little torn.
Maybe if I password protected and/or put a warning up about certain posts that would make me feel more comfortable? But even then, would it be appropriate? Where do I draw the line?
I write on this website because I know friends and family are interested in what I have to say or just to see how I’m doing, even if it is a little bland most of the time. I’d love to spice this up but know I have moral obligation to uphold and I know a lot of conservative minded people who read this. I’m not saying I’m some big liberal who’s gonna raise hell and display nude graphics and write about bloodshed and death and drugs. I’m just saying to free my mind would be nice and the topic matter could get a little ugly.
So, that’s my thought. I guess I’ll let this sit for a little while and I’ll figure out if I truly want to do this or not.
