I’m freaking out here!

I got brave the other day and invited a whole bunch of people on my very selective, I actually know and like them, facebook friends list to join my blog’s facebook page thus exposing them to my blog. Thus exposing everything I have written to the people I care most about and a lot of people I genuinely care about. And now… Well, the title said it all.
I’m. Freaking. Out.
This is a moment I’m sure is familiar to Bloggers around the world. Or at least I hope so or I’m more of a weirdo than I had thought. I doubt that. I’m pretty comfortable these days with my weirdness. My nerdiness. My tendency to snort through my nose when I laugh too hard. I faced facts a long time ago. I’m one unusual character. Gosh. Point. What was that… Ah, yes.
Blogging and real life people. I’ve discussed this subject before. At that time I elected to make this adorable blog available to people I knew but not put it directly in front of them. In case, you know, they didn’t like it or me as much as I hoped that would. And I’m not sure what has changed for me since. But it has.
Obviously.
So I’m writing away and things just keep pouring out of me as I tap away (did I mention that not having the acrylic nails makes typing fast soooooooooooo much easier. I used to wear acrylics and struggle to tippy tap away. Now? it’s simple…. Whoops, sorry, did it again, sidetrack!) . I write about my life, the fun, the joy, the love, the heartbreak’s. And I wonder about where Suger Coat It will be in a years time. I wonder about sharing serious issues on a blog dedicated to emphasizing the lighter side of life. I wonder if people notice how terrible my spelling, grammar and actual typing skills are!
So there you go. Brain dump complete. I feel better now. I remembered to breathe. Bloggers, all together now, adopt the Ohhhhhmmmmm position (as pictured at top, you know, the yoge/breathing one).

  1. I know I think twice about everything I post, knowing that my mother religiously reads every word!

  2. you crack me up girl! Love your style. I know the feeling but think you'll find your friends love your blog as much as the rest of us :)

  3. Good on you! It will be fine. After all you have 60 followers so I'm sure your Real Life friends will love your blog too.

  4. It's tricky isn't it! Sometimes I invite certain people to read it (as I did recently with work colleagues) and then I have to go back and skim over and take out some incrimating evidence (like blogging about chucking sickies). But ultimatley it's fun! People get to know you in new ways. My older brother reads it and it always makes me laugh to think of his reactions to posts…Good luck Melissa!

  5. Totally understand where you're coming from, I think it goes with the blogging territory?

  6. I haven't had the courage to do this yet. I understand why you're freaking out.

  7. yeah I haven't let most people know about my blog either, and after seeing you make the page on facebook I thought, maybe its time to let loose on the world the angstiness that is my blog.Then I thought.. naaahhh, I like it how it is. But kudos to you for getting it out there, and feeling bloglovin

  8. Phew. Feel very much part of the community now that I voiced my little freak out. And FYI, feedback has been great. Yaaaay. Exciting.

  9. A few of my irl friends have my blog address, not many. And one ex-friend who would have passed it onto psycho stalker too. *meh* Don't really care about the duds, but I do worry about the friends and their impressions. Haven't handed it out big time, people will find it or ask if they want to know…

  10. did it end well? sharing with facebook friends that is? I have thought about doing the same recently with irl friends and close facebook acquintances..but I think maybe i am not ready to if it feels more like standing naked infront of them right now than letting them into another part of my life..mmm..decisions! :)
