Blog = A bunch of secrets?

I have always wanted to have a poll and ask fellow bloggers, what do you write about? How personal or impersonal are your blogs? How much "laundry" do you hang out there to dry? Haha.. its a bad analogy, I know that, but I can't help feeling curious about it.

When it comes to my own blog, I am brutally honest about what I write. The initial purpose of blogging had been to express my daily observation, interesting bits that are worth sharing, experiences, feelings and whatever that crossed my mind which triggered my fingers to type. Yes, I have written my fair share of crap, controversial stuff and little bits that sometimes can be offensive to some of my friends. In this little domain that is A Rambling Chicken, the Chicken can write what she wants to. This domain is the only place I can express my views without any implications (usually bad ones) as this is mine and mine alone. But when it comes to the matters of the heart, I do not seem to be able to write them and publish it for the view of all, especially my own friends.

The blog has evolved into a manifestation of the "sarcastic, happy, critic" me as I am unable to write all that I wish to. As much as I try to make this blog a brutally honest one (honestly-brutal as well?), there are still some stuff that I can't bring myself to write about e.g. when I feel really sad or hurt. These are my real feelings at certain times but they are so much more difficult to reveal. It will be a great release when I am able to.

I somehow admire my friend Ken Ric who is able to say that he is lonely. I wish I could do the same. Its not to say that I am, in reality, lonely. Just want to able to say what I genuinely feel. Don't get em wrong, all articles here are what I do feel, only that I have omitted certain topics that I can't bring myself to write about. As this blog has started off as a place for me to honest and open, I see the need for me to write all, the good, the bad and the ugly.

Without the ugly bits, I feel as if this blog is going no where. In fact, it sounds like a great denial case too! As much as I do not want to live in denial, I still find it difficult to say, hey, I am sad here.

So, friends don't feel alarmed when my blogs mellow down at times. I am trying to be as human as you are. I am flesh and blood too in a domain that is A Rambling Chicken. And... yes, the Chicken has rambled her fair share of stuff for the day.. finally.
