Warning: Self-Indulgent Reflection Ahead. It's All about Me Here.
I've been thinking about all of the big things that happen in my life that I haven't really written about on my blog, and why. The events and people that impact my life the most deserve recognition here... so why don't I sometimes write about them?
My best answer is that they are too big. If I'm going to write about them, I want to do them justice. I haven't snippeted them down into digestible blog entries, each with an insight and thesis.
Also, I obviously do not write anonymously on my blog. As a public school teacher, I felt it was better to just put my name on my blog and then filter what I post, rather than write anonymously, be tempted to put something inappropriate on my blog, and then live to regret it, which has happened before in many real-life morality tales where people end up losing their careers. It's silly to believe that we are anonymous online. No, thanks.
Many of the topics I haven't touched have intensely personal and private aspects to them. I don't really think of myself as a private person (surprise, there), but when I stop to list the things that I have not written about on this blog, I realize that indeed, there are things that I have kept private. And those things I will keep private, but here is a list of topics that are just too dang big that I haven't mined for my blog, yet, but which may make their way here eventually:
