something highly personal

How I was feeling. Feeling lonely after moving to a new city. Told story of my epically "being dumped".

Private thoughts towards political issues. A tweet from a date. I've posted long blog posts about

terrible breakups and details about one-night stands. Failing on a date. Setting fire (accidentally) to my own house. Client woes. Notices of hair growing

in unusual places. Anniversary of my brothers death...it was out of character. Being a new mother and how that felt. Details of my sex life. When I got

engaged. A blog about the death of my son. Thoughts on troubles I was having with my wife. Being in an open relationship. Infertility struggles. That I was not proud of what I've done in the past 10 to 20

years. Relationship status.
