You know, I miss those days when I could blog about anything I wanted to.
I wanted to write about my frustration with certain politicians for saying certain things and with certain groups of people for doing whatever they are doing that disrupts racial harmony in the country. In MY country. But then, who are we kidding, politics isn’t exactly my cup of tea.
I wanted to write about the mounting excitement in the current project that I am working on (yes, it’s related to terrapins), and the kind of project-related activities that I am really looking forward to, but I guess all that is more appropriate in the Terrapin Conservation Centre website. Plus, I don’t want to jump the gun. So I guess I will be writing more about that stuff there later.
I wanted to write about my frustration with certain people in a certain administration because they are making things unnecessarily difficult for me. But I thought, what’s the point? Ranting about it will not solve the problem, but actively and tirelessly pursuing it will. And I am known to have tonnes of patience, so let’s see to that.
I wanted to write about how I am looking forward to the overseas trips that I will be making this year but I do not want to come out as being arrogant. I have learned that 2D communications, without the facial expressions, can be misconstrued and read the wrong way.
Did you ever feel this way? That there’s so much you wanted to write about but can’t because, you know, somewhere around the corner, somebody might be waiting to pounce on you? I can’t wait for this phase to be over so that I can be myself again, here on my blog.


Tell me about it… I can’t write about so many things that my blog is now dead. :(
And it’s such a waste, kan? I’m one of your fans, so I’d like to see your blog come back into life!
Just blog whatever you like about the overseas trip freely :D
Yes, I can certainly relate. On one of my other sites, I often wish to get more political about my views, but certain things gnaw at me whenever I do. This is both for personal reasons and legal reasons, as well as the fact that there are a number of people who could potentially view the site and read too much into it, although in all likelihood they don’t even look at it.
You bring up a good point about how often people tend to push their own feelings or biases onto written work. As well as the fact that often things like sarcasm are much more difficult to detect when communicating online. A lot of times, people interpret things how they want, so you either have to be overly blatant or risk having your intentions be misrepresented.

Welcome to the club. All of us have to be careful about what we write or not write about some things because, either it can hurt someone or may boomerang on us. I have a number of things about which I do not write at all because of exactly the same reasons as you. You are doing alright with what you write. So, just keep doing that.

I totally agree with you!
I am right there with you! I am a blogger too and sometimes I just want to write! Write anything that comes to mind!
I think you should always write what you want about even if it will offend some individuals. You have to be yourself, but in saying that I do know what you mean about being careful with what you blog about.
