Tell me you blog about meditation, yoga, about how you are exploring a new diet and how you got into composting – and i’ll tell you you’re most probably a woman blogger.<\/p>\n
Ehr. <\/p>\n
Since my blog as changed a lot over the last 2 years, taking more on the business, technology and music side, i’m less and less keen to blog about the stuff which touches me closely, and get back to a certain personal level as i did in the past, using this blog partly as a personal diary.<\/p>\n
I miss this. I miss the real me in this blog, the girl who started to blog years ago, expressing thoughts spontaneously, showing creativity, vulnerability and sensibility. <\/p>\n
What has changed? I am now running my own business, and it is a constant fight to keep being authentic, without being afraid of what could happen if i would not hide my thoughts, not being afraid of people’s judgment, as i did at the start – happily blogging for myself, and a few others.<\/p>\n
Using a blog as an explorative and creative channel is great, if you can open yourself up. Looking at my writing-drawing journal today, Chris asked me if i could imagine blogging this kind of stuff again with some parts of my blog under private access. It made me realize how much of myself i am hiding, in fear of judgment and criticism. Oh dear, where is the real me? But hey, this place is mine! <\/p>\n

So if i blog about my yoga and meditation practice, my diving into food and exploration of different diets, my researches about urban composting, will you tell yourself ‘oh, how girly?’<\/i><\/p>\n

The king of GeeKingdom himself has exposed thousands of other geeks to the world of self awareness – so what am i waiting for? <\/p>\n I’ll start blogging for myself again. Because this whole thing is about exploration, and sharing, to some degree, the real stuff, the real me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tell me you blog about meditation, yoga, about how you are exploring a new diet and how you got into composting – and i’ll tell you you’re most probably a woman blogger.
