First Post with a new Blog

I've been wanting to have a blog site (all my own) for a while now so there's some excitement to finally getting one! As I sit and write this it's apparant to me there're obstacles to having one. One noticable obstacle is the whole Peeping Tom aspect of it. Journaling is interesting and freeing and important because of it's cathartic aspect. Seems to me that's one of the easier things to achieve while you are writing something you are pretty sure no one else will see. What then when your journal suddenly goes public? What's the switch that happens in the mind to make the person up on stage, with the lights on, and all eyes watching, suddenly go from mentally freaked out, to....hey, it's okay, let me share who I am? As for me, I'm not sure of the answer yet, but I'm willing to try it, make myself more accessable, fear embarassment less, share who and what I am without apology, and maybe, just maybe learn a bit about myself in the process.
