On blogging
This a bit self-regarding.
I have said before I sometimes use my blog as a public diary. Some, including me at times, use social media as a semi-public diary.
There isn’t anything wrong with that, I think, as long as you stay discreet. As for privacy, I don’t much care about it at this stage and situation in life. It matters more I can hold your interest. It may be Catholicism, the idea that in confession you should disclose even your most difficult acts and thoughts.
But I don’t blog to be all confessional. I try to mix it up with poems, art analysis, jokes, and updates on my writing.
