MLI Discussion: Where Do I Draw the Line?
It’s been a weird week. I’m on vacation, and yet I feel more stressed than ever. I’ve been challenged to rethink how I run my blog. I should have suspected I’d have to make some decisions about what I do/do not write about.
I’ve chosen to put myself out there; the people in my life have not. Therefore, I’ve respected the privacy of the people in my life. As I mentioned in my post The One, there is a lot more I could say here on MLI. I’ve had a lot of experiences that would make for great content — content that could entertain, inspire and inform. But I elect not to out of respect for the people involved.
I was not always so considerate. A few months ago, I wrote a post that offended someone important to me. Fortunately for me, the approach by which the offended party chose to address the issue was so mature and open-minded that it actually strengthened our relationship. I’ve been much more conscientious of what I post since that day.
But I’ve arrived here. And I have to ask myself: Where do I draw the line? How do I balance chasing my dream, sharing my stories and making my contribution with protecting the readers impacted by my words?
Have you been faced with this dilemma? What’s your philosophy?
