Writing Dilemma

Maybe it's time to kill this blog.

It turns out I have more than one person reading this. And in theory, that's ok, but I was asked to remove a comment because the person's feelings were hurt. And it's never my intent to hurt anyone's feelings, so I sincerely feel sorry that that happened. However, the words weren't meant to be hurtful and so that has me evaluating the purpose of this blog anyway.

It started as a way to keep in touch with a friend who moved far away. Just to sort of update on things happening in my life and a lot about feelings which are mostly things I vent about. That's why it's called "Poison Apple". It's a place where I can release toxic things into the universe. And perhaps, get constructive feedback.

Also, I've looked back at old posts from time to time and have thought it was a kind of cool journal of past events. I've kind of imagined that if something happened to me and I killed over dead Abby could read things here and maybe get to know me a little better. Yes, I can be morbid like that and slightly hypochondriacal. I don't know if that's a real word, but I think it's understandable.

So are there other outlets for this kind of thing. Yep. Absolutely. But, it's also possible for people who don't like what I write to simply never look here again and because most of the time I bore myself (I'm never quite as witty as I hope) I really thought no one read this. I haven't heard from my one imagined reader in months so I don't think he reads here anymore either. Facebook is so much more convenient for that.

And because I KNOW my audience is larger on facebook, I write a little more personally here. I think I'm going to continue, and I think I will do it unapologetically. It's like the television, if you don't like what's on, turn the channel. If you don't like what you're seeing on the screen in front of you, click away.
