Firsts, hi ladies...I'm back...sort of. Busy planning a baby shower in a couple of weeks and enjoying the spring weather down south. I've missed you all.
Now to the question: I only regret being open about things concerning my life when someone doesn't understand and tries to make me feel badly about what I felt I could share. I was recently told I'd lied because I had not told something from my past to a close relative of mine. My response to her was that I hadn't lied...I just didn't feel it necessary to share every detail. I am private about some things and never mis-represented myself by doing so. SHE had in her mind an idea of whom I was and when I shed light on one part of my life that she thought was totally different then suddenly in her mind I was lying. FOr me, I don't think it's good to tell everyone every detail of one's life and I certainly wasn't close enough to her to do that. I've shared a couple of pretty tough struggles I've had in my life because I wanted to help others who may be struggling with what I had gone through and let them see that one can overcome. I guess if there's any regrets it's been in trusting someone I thought I could trust with personal information only to have them hurt you with it later.
