I have neglected this blog for quite some time. While I have used the excuse of shutting down the other blog to suspend my entries, I feel that I should not have run away from the daily mental exercise to 'penning down' my thoughts. I have become lazy and my mental faculties are rusty.
Maybe, today's entry shall focus on why I created that new FB account.
I am a coward you see. Rather than confront the situation I was facing,I chose to run away and hide. How long more will it be before I am discovered?
Facebook has been good to me in many ways. It has helped me established links with others, broadened my network of friends, and of course, reconnected me with people whom I have not touched based with for a long time. But hence lies the problem, or my so-called dilemma.
Had I been selective about who I added, I would not have easily faced the problem of having 'unwanted' friends. I think you know what I mean when I say, I would rather be left alone. It is not a game. But how do I choose? Is there a'nice way' of putting people down?
When I was younger, I thought it would have been great if I had lots and lots of friends. The more the merrier. But now, I value my privacy. And the very nature of my job placed me in a dilemma. I needed to be very very guarded with my responses. I have to be mindful of my audience, and that the things I sometimes let go. Some thoughts are just not for public consumption.
So I created this new account, and just like this blog, I hope I am going to be much wiser and prudent because of prior experiences. Nothing is totally safe, but I hope my circle of readers and friends will really be those who mean a lot to me.
