Is a live journal for "personal" entries of an impersonal kind--or a diary of inner thoughts. hmmm. I've rethought this comundrum and decided to leave this lj for surface rants and keep my emotions in their place. Much easier to sleep at night knowing I haven't accidentally hurt someone's feelings.
Public or private?
And that didn't help at all, did it?
Maybe just consider that other people will read it? Kind of like talking in a roomful of people?
