Afraid of Being Judged

Recently a friend asked me if I am afraid of being judged on the basis on my blog and everything about my life that I put out there (in reference to the written content). I thought for a second and replied, “Not at all!” I think she thought my writing was a bit too dramatic and too honest. That’s when I realized that after years of blogging I had sort of taken it for granted that by now, everyone would be on board with how this (blogging) works. Reality check: Not so much.

I am not afraid of being judged. On the contrary I find it liberating. This is my way of letting the world know who I am. I don’t have to wear faces any more or impress anyone. However, her comment did take me back to the pre-blogging days. There was a shield between the world and me. What went on in my head was not really shared in words (may be in eye roll and facial expressions). Conversation with her also made me realize that there might be a growing list of people in the #3 category. Just to be clear, I think she (my friend) falls under the #1 category. They might not voice their thoughts but they are definitely out there. Shaking their heads in disapproval right this second :P And the wonderful thing about it is that they are can read mine (thought) while I am protected by their venom coz' lets face it, not everyone has the balls of being honest. 

The bottom line is whether I blog or not, people are going to judge either ways. This way at least I am getting to keep ‘who I am’ and ‘what I think’ in sync. Right? (: 
This is what I wore on the Day 2 of my Nashville trip.
