Whew. Thought I made a major blunder and have been panicking, suffering, writhing...and some of that was related to work. No, I've been working tons to try and do damage control, and even working on other projects out of fear and guilt (I don't often make mistakes, but this little one looked like it could have a major consequence). However, I've just heard from the boss, arguably boss' boss, and boss' boss' boss - and I'm fine, putting too much effort into it. This is just a formality, and an informal formality at that. No details here, but a major whew from me.

Why do I have this "need" to talk about everything in my life? If I don't bore and burden my friends, I post it here. It's not like people generally give a rat's ass - I wouldn't if it weren't about me. It's not about attention...it's just some odd need to talk about everything in my head, processing, on the outside rather than just inside. Does it actually do any good, or am I just wired wrong? Do other people have some sort of control mechanism between their brain and mouth that I lack?
It's been said, many times, and applies to the keyboard...

..that until we tell the story, it isn't fully real.

When we tell the story, it takes on a life, a solidity, a vigor that we can work more easily with.

And as we tell the story, it changes... and, sometimes, reality changes with it.

Other times, it just lets us shake all the crap out and see reality for what it is.

Either way... no, it's not just you. :)

It's not just you, I feel the same way. But, I don't think you write excessively about your life either.

I talk about my life too much, but I put everything that goes on in my medical journal & unfortunately it gives me more to bore people with. If I don't want to know things I just don't read it. Don't worry about being a burden.
