When Is It Too Much

Obviously, I am not going to get any studying done tonight. I have so many thoughts running through my head tonight. I don't know why this night is any different than the other nights, but I have this strong need to blog them.

I pose this question out to the world. When is a thought too much to blog? In case my ramblings are not making sense, is there such a thing as too personal information to put into a blog?

Lately, I have been struggling with this question in my head and I can not really find an answer. Is there such a thing as too personal? What if I put some thought down and then a few months later I regret putting that out for the world to see. You see, when we say something out loud to a crowd, people heard you but it will not be exactly remembered a year later. Sure, people will kind of remember what you said. But if I put this down in my blog, it will be remembered exactly as I said it a year from now. This is really a dangerous bed I'm laying in. These thoughts of mine could be used against me anytime in the future.

There must be some form of trust or ignorance that I have to invest in my blogging actions. I can either trust that no harm will come from my posting of random thoughts. Or I can be ignorant, roll the dice, and care less about the outcome.

I still haven't decided which way to lean. I was talking to a friend today and told him that you can not expect a great reward without putting yourself completely out there. The risks are directly proportional to the rewards. I have not been putting myself out there completely lately and thus have not been rewarded as much. This is all easy to say, but actually putting into practice is a extremely difficult process for me. I know what I have to do, but something in me just doesn't want to do it yet.

I know this all sounds very vague, but that's because it is my thoughts in a written format. I am still leary of saying exactly what I am thinking. So this vague posting will remind me of my thoughts when I look back at it in the future.
