Too much time on the computerEvery time a thought jumps into my head I just want to write it down and post it on this blog. But halfway through the writing, i stop and ask myself: Am I talking too much about myself? Is this Too Much Information?

Outside the ‘blogospere’ I am quite reserved, antisocial perhaps, introvert definitely. I never share any of my intimate thoughts with someone unless they are my very, very, very close friend, and then its is still very censored. But when writing, I tend to let it all go. I can reach into my very inner soul and pull out the deepest thought and express them in words that I ordinarily will not utter in the face of someone else.

Blogging, therefore, presents a unique challenge to me.  I am able to express whatever i want to, but then it will be exposed to millions around the globe. Is it really fair to share my thoughts with millions of strangers and not share them directly with the few that I interact with? Will this drive me more into being an introvert out there and only resolve to forming on-line relationships with faceless people only known by  their login handles?  

Should Jesus have been in this century, He would have delivered the sermon on the mount, then uploaded it to His blog :) I guess I should balance the need to express my self in writing with expressing myself verbally to the ones i love. Then can the message that I write be a true reflection of who i am as a person.
