Happy Friday everyone!!! Im sure glad its Friday cause this week has been nightmarish….yeah I made up a word.
So I was talking to another fellow blogger this week through email about some stuff that was going on in my life and something came up about how in blogging we dont usually write about the bad stuff. Some people do and some dont….
It got me to thinking….Do I?
No. Not really. I wrote back in May about problems Chad and I had once. But when something bad happens I just dont write about it….why not? Its my blog right. Its supposed to be the good, the bad the ugly. I have made a promise to myself, I will start writing more FOR REAL stuff. Not just the happy go lucky, weekly things. But if I have a bad day, Im gonna write about it. Will you guys still read and comment? I hope.
I am curious though…how many of you write about the good AND the bad…not just the fun stuff???
I hope I am not insulting anyone or that you guys think I am making assumptions…I am certainly not. I just want to know if Im the only one who just keeps the bad off the blog….
Ok guys….let me have it!
The good, the bad, and everything in between … but admittedly, I’m not writing about A LOT of what’s going on in my life right now, just for privacy’s sake, I guess. Arg.
That’s a tough one for me. I don’t want to seem like a complainer, but I definitely don’t have a perfect life.
I’ve tried to post more of the not so great things, like my recipe that turned out bad, the bomb threat/killer ant episode, or the day I posted lyrics to a song when I was having a bad day. I do try to post mainly good things, and my blog has helped me look for the good things that are happening, and to help me laugh off potentially bad situations.
I think I kinda take out my bad day frustrations on twitter instead of the blog!
I write about the good, the bad and the ugly! I feel like that its my blog and I write for myself so I will write what I want! I will tell you that when you write about the ugly its nice to get nice comments from your blogging friends!
Hmm, I tend to censor sometimes I think. While I have posted a lot about our struggles, I dont post about my negative thoughts or about the days that I cry and hate the world 🙂 Maybe I should post more of the bad……
I write a little about the bad, but I don’t want to seem like Negative Nancy. My life is not perfect and isn’t always rainbows and puppies! I guess some things I just keep private. It’s a weird thing. Hope things are better for you!!
Happy Friday!!! Just found your blog…and I have to admit, I really just write about the happy stuff. I mean, if I’m having a bad day, I’ll vent. But I don’t write about the SUPER personal stuff. Maybe that will change…
I try to post a bit of everything, nothing super bad has happened to me lately besides I guess my car accident? I try to even out my whiny woe-is-me posts with some uplifting ones. But, I just write about what’s on my mind! You do you girl! We’ll read. 😀
I try to write about it all…luckly things aren’t “bad or ugly” around here too often!
I figure there are always things that could be worse.
PS my week was nightmareish too!!
I try not to focus on the bad stuff. I do occasionally post bad things but I try to put a positive spin on it. For example in November of 2008 Dave lost his job. But my post was about him starting his own business. I just thought it sounded better than him getting laid off.
Interesting post for sure – I wonder who the inspiration was 🙂
I think I do talk about some things that are bad but when it comes to compromising friends, family, secrets, etc. I tend to omit it from cyberspace.
I totally agree. I don’t write about the bad very often. I just don’t feel like I need to drag my family or friends out in public, but I guess I just don’t feel like people want to read about the bad stuff. And I could be wrong, that’s just my impression, so I guess I try to keep it light.
It depends…if the bad involves someone whose feelings might be hurt if I talk about it, I usually dont say anything, but if not and I feel like talking about crappy days, I will blog it. As far as reading about others bad days, of course I read!! It makes me feel human that I am not the only one with bad days!
I was JUST thinking about this, because I am going through something myself and haven’t posted about it. I guess I worry because many co-workers read my blog and I try to keep things as private as possible at work.
I feel like I’m in the same situation. I sort of feel like what I post on my blog is the GOOD part of my life. I sometimes feel the bad outweigh the good in my life. I tend to not post about the bad, because of privacy.
I write about everything…thats why its nice to not be traveling so much right now..I feel the need to get back to blogging..its really been takiing allot of my chest!
