venting

i just need to clarify something. i was going to post this on the blog i posted last night but decided not to. after that i spent about 10 minutes in bed thinking about what i should have said.

in my first post on this blog i said this: "but sometimes ya just need to vent. some choose to vent about the effort it takes to exercise as they sit lazily on the computer, some choose to vent about their 4 kids. i- well i am choosing to finally vent about the secerets i have been going through for several months."

i want to clarify that i was not speaking of anyone in particular. a lot of times i say things that people read into way too much. first of all, i don't even know anyone who vents about trying to exercise while they sit lazily at the computer. a LOT of people blog about trying to loose weight, but that doesn't mean i was pointing out any particular person. it's just a common thing people blog about. second, i wasn't speaking of any particular person who vents about having 4 kids. a LOT of people blog about their kids. whether it's bragging about latest accomplishments or venting about the latest stressful occurrance. regardless, i didn't have any particular person in mind when i said that statment. i could have said any number of kids, but 4 was the number i chose to write. i know LOTS of people who have 4 kids. i came from a family of 4 kids. furthermore, i read LOTS of blogs of people who have 4 kids. and, the statement i made was more geared to those who blog about venting about kids, than those who don't blog who have 4 kids.

this day in age is wonderful. no longer are we forced to be humble and think we are nothing special. we all have blogs that highlight OUR lives. we can brag, we can vent, we can say anything we want. we are all special and we are all entitled to have a little corner in cyber space that we call our own. it is so perfectly alright to brag, as well as vent. and it's wonderful that when we do so that we know we are not alone. and i think that is the most important thing about blogs. that one person can say what is on their mind, and then other people can go read that and relate to it. i really don't think that many people are going to relate to me and my point of views i make on this particular blog though. anyway, even if you feel that i was talking about you, and you're venting that you think you did, it's alright. vent.

we can vent about our kids, vent about our weight, vent about our husband, vent about our acne, vent about our sex life, and vent about our finances. all those things that you think are too personal to talk about, it's alright. because at the end of the day you can talk all about it on your completely private yet horribly public blog.

so in conclusion: i was not talking about any particular person when i mentioned those who vent, i was more talking about those who vent on blogs, and even if i was talking about you, venting on blogs is a.o.k.

actually, it's quite trendy.
