Divorce: A Rebound-Practice Catalyst

I didn't write a blog post the past two days.

Or rather, I did write one on both days. I just didn't post them.

They felt...off. Not consistent with this newer blog persona I have been developing. The felt needy even. And I've been trying to figure out why.

I usually have no problems letting the words flow. But that can pose problems. It's a fine way to approach a private journal, but not always suitable for a public blog.

The first I wrote but did not post was about my wife. I know, shocking. But what I wrote felt too...exposed.

The second was sort of reflection piece about the first. But I didn't know what to say. And I was tired.

I strive to be honest with myself and the blog posts I write. But I learned there is limit to how honest I am willing to be...or rather, how much about myself I am willing to reveal.

This is not a static thing. I may feel more comfortable disclosing the more personal stuff in the future. Or less.

The gist of what I wrote but didn't post boils down to me still working to make sense of my new life. I'm getting there, but I am not as "there" as I thought. I can still easily regress.

The good news is I am able to rebound much more quickly now.

At least I think that's good news.
