Exhibitionism
March 29, 2005 | Category: In My Life
*Turns out that Average Mom and I decided to write almost the exact same post. Only her first. And funnier. And a little more insightful. Heh.
Over Easter dinner, I was asked why I blog.
And the conversation careened and stuttered from there, as I felt compelled for some reason to explain all the good that has come out of my blogging.
But what about the drawbacks?
Have I turned myself into a soap opera?
The troubles finding a partnership that works for my marriage, the struggles in raising my only son, my windmill-tilting as a female in a strictly masculine corporate structure. My slow slide to what I am sure is a stress-induced nutty.
Why share all this?
Is it still a diary if you purposely share it with the world?
Or just expositional exhibitionism?
