Can I keep my own secret?

I truly do not know if I can. I am a “blabber mouth” a “tattle tale”, a “gossip.” Take your pick. I am all three. For some reason – people always tell me the good stuff, and when something is good it is damn hard to keep it to yourself. Am I right? Sometimes are better than others. There are some serious secrets that I have never told anyone. Other peoples secrets they have confided in me and I hold in side with NO urge to spill. Then there are the gossip secrets. Give me a margarita, martini or a bottle of wine and out comes the word vomit. I can’t help myself. The intention of starting this blog was to keep my anonymity. This begs the question, can I even keep my OWN secret? It hasn’t even been 24 hours yet and I’ve almost slipped once. I caught myself quickly, but I truly don’t know how long it will last.

I guess I can be good at secrets – until someone turns on me – and then it all comes out. So basically  if you have told me your secrets you better stay my friend – I’m a Scorpio, we are vengeful people!!

And it begins….

There are multiple forums to blog in. I don’t know about others, but I myself use them to make a point – usually to one or two “friends” that can read that blog. However, the fault lies in the lack of anonymity. They always know you wrote it – they can always quote you, exploit you, or worse, belittle you. So I am choosing a place of safe harbor. A home that is mine for my thoughts that no one can use against me. This is me – bare – emotional - raw. Maybe no one will ever read it, that’s OK – I’ll write it. I believe everyone has something amazing to say, there may only be ONE person out there that agrees. One person who hears or reads the voice of another and says “YES – that is what I have been thinking”. That is enough. Even if that person is the writer. If I am the only one that relates, so be it. I would rather relate to myself than anyone else out there. If you can’t relate to yourself, you are merely an observer, a shadow, a distant memory. So here is to relating to ones self.
