every time I try to get back into blogging I run into the same issue of figuring out exactly how much of myself I want to put out there - and how I want to present myself. it always makes me feel like I worry too much about how other people see me, because I can’t really put together a coherent “persona” that shows all of what I want to display outwardly. I have to wonder - do the people who have personal blogs that are updated daily have the same problems? do they consciously create an identity that they want to publish, or do they just write down whatever comes to mind and present things as they happen?

I guess it’s because I’m a kind of reserved person - I feel like I could never be so open about my life on a public blog, so I have trouble deciding what parts of myself are suitable and interesting enough to show to others. some of it’s probably due to insecurity and laziness as well.
