Ashley wants it all, I guess.

I'm having trouble knowing what is acceptable to write in this blog.

My audience seems to be pretty small, and I want it to grow. BUT, I don't want to advertise my blog because then I'll have to narrow what I can say! Like- should I keep talking about the Church so much, or will that bore, confuse, or alienate my friends who aren't Mormon? Do I never get to talk about personal situations with other people because of the chance that they'll read it? It's tough because those are the things I want to get off my chest here. I guess that's what diaries are for ... :/ I guess I'll just go ahead and WISH that

I could say what I wanted,

People would care in one way or another,

And the people I talk about would never get upset.

Like I said, wish. But bear in mind that it's not that I even want to say BAD things about people, I just want to talk about my situations, but those invariably involve others. I even feel awkward that I've listed personal details about my sister-in-law and I would be uncomfortable if she read this. And it wasn't even anything bad! It's just that I was talking about her publicly at all. And for example- how embarrassed would I be if Joann's girl somehow (I KNOW it's not likely but that's why we say "if") found my blog and read what I said about her?! It was only NICE and yet I'd feel so weird! I don't know how to talk about real life and not be uncomfortable.

As far as I know, I'm not very good at being discreet. Maybe I'll have to give it a try? It might be my only option.
