There are reasons why I post anonymously. Why I don’t promote my posts on social media.
I want to have good conversations with others who found me, and stuck around to talk.
I want to be able to talk (write) openly, and honestly, without holding back, and even then, sometimes it’s hard.
I don’t do stress.
I’m not looking for recognition, I’m not writing a book or wishing to speak publicly. I’m not against people sharing my post to their friends, family, or to their group on their blog, facebook, twitter. I also hope that whatever post they shared, sparks good honest conversations in their circles.
I just don’t want attention from people on a wide scale…I’m not looking for stats on a post to go crazy, because that stresses me out.
I am hoping that something that I say, will help someone else. Whether that something makes them go into adoption with eyes wide open, or understand a bit about what it is like to be adopted, and that something helps them at a time they need it most…
One reason I started blogging was to learn how to write again. To learn how to write sentences in the proper word sequence. To be able to write in a way that explains to the reader what I’m trying to say. It took a lot of practice, I am getting there on most days. Best way to undo all that progress I’ve made? Cause me stress. Stress strips me of words. I can’t form a complete sentence when I’m stressed, it’s hard to just put two words together.
I don’t do stress. I run away from stress. I shut down when I’m stressed. STRESS is very, very bad for me. Someone chose to cause me stress, for their gain.
I’m here now, instead of the blog I called home. TAO
I’m very sorry, TAO. You had every right to enjoy your home in peace.
I had someone do the same to me on my blog. Then someone called my truth a lie, and another someone called me a martyr (I believe they meant I was writing about our story just to get attention). It has thrown a big, cold bucket of water on my writing publicly. I’ve been scared to write, or rather, post anything. I am glad you are here, and you are not letting this someone stop you from writing. I look forward to many “good and honest conversations”.

I went and read ‘those’ conversations yesterday via FireFox – for some reason my IE (the one I use) doesn’t allow me to comment or even see comments on your blog. They were terrible and wrong – and as you know I have lost a son to death. Your post(s) were fine…
Your comments will automatically post now…
