As life settles back into its routine, I find myself with a new conundrum. How open should I really be about my life? We’re starting to attend more conventions, and it’s getting progressively more awkward to avoid the topic with my coworkers.
How do I do this, though? I wait tables, so it’s not like I have a huge public presence to worry about. It’s a family company, though, and notoriously conservative.
If I continue this path, and blog more consistently (bad girl for not blogging more!), then I could very easily see this merging in with my public life. I know that I have information and advice that can help someone, because I’ve screwed up enough things and tried to learn from them. I want to share, and make myself available, but to do that I must make myself somewhat public.
I find myself contemplating this more, because I got my first link, from a blog called Sex Blog Conspiracy. As an aspiring blogger, this is a huge deal (!!), and I’m grateful for the notice!
It makes me want it more, now. I want to be productive, and innovative, and put my voice out there. I know that I’ve been assisted by those who have the guts to step forward and make their knowledge and passion public, and I want to pay that forward.
Everyday life takes its toll when we don’t focus on our passions and live them consistently. Even the most accomplished musician must practice between performances to keep her edge. This is why it’s so important to fight the lull of routine and rut, and make the effort to keep our passions front and center in our intentions, if not our public lives. Don’t let the mundane strip away your desire to do something, whether it be kink or craft or travel.
As for going public, I’ll percolate on it a bit more. It affects much more than just myself, and all aspects must be weighed as much as possible. I’ll keep you posted.
