Oh **** - Censorship

When I first started this blog, my aim was to create a forum where I could say whatever I wanted, without fearing or without keeping in mind the consequences of doing so and the impact on those reading this blog. And yet, after about 9 months of posting various ramblings, I have realized that I have fallen prey to the very things that I warned myself against in my first post.

If you look at the post immediately preceding this one, you'll get an idea of how much I censor myself. That particular post was supposed to be about a particular issue, one that has given me quite a bit of trouble for the past little while. See, here I go again - censoring myself.

I guess, when I wrote that first post and said that I wouldn't censor myself, I assumed that people who read this blog wouldn't know me personally, and hence, I could write stuff without thinking about what they would think. But as time has progressed, I've realized how wrong I was when I first wrote that post. Many of the people I know, in fact many of the people I'm closest to, read this blog. And, although they already know most of what's happening in my life, it would perhaps be an insult to the trust I have in them to announce to the entire world the goings-on in my insignificant (to an extent) world.

At the same time, there are things which I cannot tell some of those same friends, to put it on this blog before telling them, would be wrong. Finally, being me, I don't want to hurt the sentiments of the people around me, and so, censorship will have to remain. Of course I'll try and say things in a round-about manner, like I did in that last post.

Anyway, that's all I have to say....for now at least
