Confession No. 12: I Blog In SECRET!
I’ve been updating my blog tonight, mainly sorting out old posts that were ‘uncategorized’ and tagging. My other half is sitting downstairs eating his dinner. He doesn’t know that I have been blogging for almost three years. Or that I have a blog. In fact, no-one does, except for my best friend, who has probably forgotten that my blog exists by now. It’s probably wrong that I do this, as my partner and I have been together for almost a year and a half. We live together and recently lost a baby. We’re committed to each-other, but this is one thing I haven’t told him about. If I told him, he’d probably want to read it, and then I’d have to start censoring myself, post by post. As I’m writing this I’m listening out for him coming up the stairs, so that he doesn’t come up and ask what I’m doing. It sounds deceitful, but I’m not hurting him or anyone else by blogging anonymously; I’m doing this for myself. There is no personally identifiable information at all. Got to go…! More soon!
I had to stop writing then- my boyfriend just came in, but he’s gone back downstairs for a moment. As I was saying… So I’m not harming anyone by doing this, but I still feel quite guilty. Just a moment ago I felt like telling him, but it all felt a bit silly really; why should he have to know? I’m honest in all other respects! My Creative Writing tutor asked if any of us blogged the other day- I didn’t even admit to it then! I wonder why this is, as it’s not as if anyone could google my name and find this… Hmm…
