Open again?

I'm considering getting back to blogging. I'm really unsure though. When I think of the things I would want to write about, it doesn't feel exactly safe. It almost feels like I have concealed part of who I am in order to live my current life. That's kind of sad and I didn't realize it until I started writing this. I'm not sure what exactly has changed in the last few years. Facebook seemed to take the place of blogging for a good number of years, but I find I use it a bit less because of all the political posts. I have to keep myself from responding to al the conspiracy theories out there. When I don't refrain myself I regret that too. If I post something about Nathan or about grief I get a bunch of "likes". I feel I have to dole those out very carefully as to not become a person people get sick of seeing these things from. The blog feels slightly more anonymous but it's really not at all. Perhaps it's easier not knowing who is reading it while at the same time, it could be exactly the people I wouldn't want reading it...but if they know I don't know can't we all pretend they haven't read it? So - I don't know...I'm thinking...
