I can rant and rave about dumb stuff on my blog, but I feel totally exposed when I talk about anything that REALLY bothers me. And I do wonder about what it would be like to have one of my girls come across the blog someday...<BR/><BR/>FWIW, I love to read about whatever aspects of your life you are comfortable sharing.

Which is spot on. <BR/><BR/>When holding "feeeelings" in is making you anxious and crazy, though...that's when it's not so good for you. But that doesn't mean you have to let it go in any way that makes you uncomfortable. <BR/><BR/>You're selective. That's a cool way to be.<BR/><BR/>Cheers, mate.
