That’s the thing about blogs: They’re a construct, and we make them piecemeal. They’re true and honest, but they’re also fabrications. Thing is, I like what you’ve got going here, whether it’s all you or not.

You had me freaking out (I’m a google reader user). I started drafting an email and realized that if you wanted to talk about it, you would have said so.

Anyway, sincerely hope you find what you’re looking for. Life’s a motherfucker sometimes.

I’m sorry. I hope everything works out okay. As always, you’re in my prayers.

Right, I know this is cryptic and I know that those of you that e-mailed me have gotten no reply. That’s just the way it is going to be right now. There’s a reason that this post starts with a discussion of privacy. I need some right now. It isn’t that I don’t appreciate your concern. I do. Absolutely. But right now, I’m going to back into my shell and stay there for a while.

I can certainly relate to that. I tell far more things to the online world in writing and pictures than I tell/show anyone in real-life – even my own family.

I can’t explain it. It just happens that way.

There was a point where folks I knew in real-life “found” my blog. That resulted in an immediate deletion and a re-start with a no references whatsoever to my real name, name of my employer, etc.

So far, so good.

I find these sorts of posts frustrating, as a reader. But as a blogger myself, I understand the sentiment completely.
I hope whatever it is you are able to cope, you know you have support both on your blog and in the real world.
I just hope this isn’t one of those, “And now I’m going to quit blogging and disappear” lead-ins, I’ve seen it in other blogs and always find it disappointing.

We all pick and choose the things we want to share on the Internet, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with holding back. It’s not like the blog police are going to come after you for not being forthcoming enough. I’ve shared things that I’ve regretted, and I’ve not shared things that I sometimes consider writing about. In the end, do what makes you comfortable.

I hope everything is okay. I’ll be thinking about you.

Oh Chris.

I get it.

Go into your corner. Reinvent yourself. Don’t bullshit me and say you don’t love this. Ok, that sounded harsher than I wanted it to. I’m just trying to convince a friend not to go away. Maybe you’re too busy right now or too something you’re not saying, but go somewhere where you can tell us, if you want. And if you don’t, well, I’ll really miss tales of Boy Z and Dr. O.C. and your life there and while you may not get into the nitty gritty, I don’t buy that all of what you’ve presented here has been so filtered. Maybe you can’t share the deepest parts of you but that doesn’t mean that what has come out til now hasn’t blown most of us away, mostly because of its genuineness.

There is a giant pile of shit that I’ve gone through over the last six months that NOBODY knows about that I have only talked about on my blog in hidden code that only I recognize and no one else, because there are things about myself I can’t even bear to tell. I don’t even know if readers have picked up on it. It’s a good way to get it out sometimes, trying to hide it in my posts.

I hope you come back.

Go out an buy yourself a Cherry Ripe. Sit in the sun and eat it. I know you aren’t a chick, but chocolate really does make one feel better.
