My life lately has been busy, nutty, and overwhelming - but I'm not complaining! I'm tired, but happy. So many things have happened at once and I'm just trying to handle it all, gracefully when possible, with a smile on my face.
There are so many things I would love to write about on here and share with most of you, but I can't. Sometimes, I need to draw lines instead of cross them. There are big parts of me, tragedies and triumphs, that I just cannot publish. And part of me REALLY wishes I could, because I think people would understand me so much better if they knew why I am the way I am, if they were aware of everything I've been through and the circumstances that have brought me to today. I choose to keep a number of things off of this blog and to myself because I must protect myself and more importantly, my family. They are my everything and certain things are just not meant to be posted online. I simply cannot share every single detail of my life nor is it my responsibility to do so. Up until now, I rendered it unnecessary to blatantly state that as I thought it was understood, but lately it seems as though I've angered some people with the information (or lack thereof) I've shared about the recent happenings in my life. While I do try to be as candid as possible (and it sometimes backfires) I also try to choose every single word carefully. It's a difficult balance to achieve and I do the very best that I can.
Thank you for understanding and for being an amazing audience. The response to this blog and my writing has been so far above and beyond anything I could have ever hoped for.
Do you think you could post your OOTDs on your blog? I know you post them on Twitter but it would be really fun to see what you wear all the time and how you put things together and where you're going in said outfit. TIA :)
ReplyDeleteI always love your posts Teddi!
ReplyDeleteI have made the scary decision to start a blog and pour it all out. All in the name of self discovery ha!
Keep writing, you're incredible.
I know exactly how you feel - there are so many things I wish I could write about but I just can't. Sometimes they are really big deals and things that the public don't need to know - and other times they are petty things that I would rather not publish so I can read about later.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can rant and rave in code? =0)
People are so rude sometimes. Don't let them get to you! I love reading your posts and it's your blog so they can be as personal as you would like.
ReplyDeletePeople are sometimes unbelievable...sorry that you're getting grief over not sharing EVERY detail of your life.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your blog- you're so cute!
It's your blog, babe! Say what you want! That's the beauty of blogging. ;-) Big hugs to you today.
ReplyDeleteIt's none of their business. And I just honestly don't understand why anyone reads a blog that they don't like. People are just plain mean sometimes. You're a doll and an amazing person. And by the way, you write really well!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteWho are these rude peeps telling you that you're not blogging correctly? WTH?!! Its your blog and you can say whatever you darn well please. I hold back A LOT too on my blog for the same reasons. That's just reality of having a public blog.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and I, too, struggle with what to reveal and what not to. I've had situations where I've gotten angry emails when I've even used *intials*, not even the person's name! craziness! But, you know, I look at it this way - you know people are reading and you're having an impact when you get negative feedback - it just comes with the territory....but know there are many, many more people who support you and your blog! :)
ReplyDeleteI am still in my first year of blogging and do not feel comfortable telling all. Therefore, I never will. Blogging is a way for me to share ONLY a small part of myself. Thank you for sharing a small part of your life with me. I enjoy your thoughts and this blog.
ReplyDeleteWill look forward to reading the next installment of your blog. Just remember DON'T LET THE TURKEY GET YOU DOWN.
Having a blog doesn't mean you're required to share every little detail...no one else should feel entitled to a play by play of your life! Your blog brightens my day, the way it is :)
ReplyDeletewe all love you TAG. you do you. with love, CAP
ReplyDeleteI am disappointed that you receive criticism for not disclosing everything about yourself. You do not owe that to anyone. Reveal what you like, the readers who like you will completely understand. We do not have to know everything about you to know that we like you and your blog. Nobody knows everything about anybody.
ReplyDeletesnaps for you, teddi!
