I'D TELL YOU MY NAME BUT THEN YOU'D KNOW IT

Does each blog post make me less interesting? I've always chosen my closest friends by how much of an effort they exert in getting to know me. I pay close attention to the questions asked of me and gauge the sincerity behind them. I want my friends to work at my friendship. The same goes for my love relationships as well. For the record, I have always considered myself a good listener and an enthusiast for getting to know people..so I don't think I'm being hypocritical with what I ask of friends and lovers. I practice what I preach so to say.

I've spoken in the past about my trouble being open with certain things in my life. Typically those "things" are those closest to me. I've mentioned how an ex-girlfriend of mine told me her biggest problem with me was that I didn't open up about the things most important to me - family, love, etc. I think subconsciously it was because I wanted her to really work at learning about those areas of my life. She wanted me to volunteer it. I have trouble doing that.

So back to the point of this post: I don't have as much trouble being open on this blog. Maybe it's because I'm anonymous to the audience, with the exception of one person that reads this. Or maybe it's because it's easier for me to be open through the written word (most plausible). Whatever the reason, I wonder if people who know my most intimate thoughts find me uninteresting. I'm not saying that because I think I'm more boring than the next guy but rather because once you volunteer your most intimate ideas, theories and thoughts, what else is there to learn about this person? It's like a biography of one's mind...and heart. Once someone reads it, what more is there to say? Does each post on this blog make me less interesting?
