How Much Do You Share with the World?
People often tell me that I am too open - it's too easy to know a lot about me. I find this amusing, because there are so many layers to my mind that even knowing the full time line of my life wont tell you everything about me. Still, I find it a bit awkward that I've been so open on the web. When I meet new people, it's extremely easy for them to pull up a ton of info about me, supplied by me, by simply googling my name.
And what does that mean? For the most part, nothing that I can't handle. But people keep telling me that no one needs to know about my health when they first meet me, so then I freak out - jesus, why did I write so much about it on this blog? Will I scare away potential mates before even meeting them?
Ultimately, if you can't handle the details of my life, you're not going to be interested in me. But I guess my life is more intense than most people my age - I'm actively engaged in issue advocacy work, plus I have a corporate job, plus I'm a cancer survivor. I just have to trust that the right guy wont be intimidated by my strength.
