I shouldn't

[kellinator]

I shouldn't have to be so defensive. I shouldn't have to write nearly-meaningless one-liners in my LiveJournal because I'm scared of what someone's going to say if I write what I really want to write. I shouldn't be hiding what I think just because someone will disapprove. I shouldn't have to look over my shoulder so much. I shouldn't have to bear the guilt for things I didn't do.

I shouldn't have to be on the run in my own life.

I recommend a visit to this page. You can then define a subgroup of your friends -- like "everyone but X, Y, and Z" -- and then you can limit viewing of your post to just those whom it wouldn't make you uncomfortable to have reading it.

When I write in my journal, I am always aware of my audience -- but I have other places to write things that should truly stay private. But that doesn't keep me from throwing things out in public anyway if I feel like it. :) I'm sure you've seen examples.

I still try not to mention actual names, which limits knowledge somewhat to people who would know/have known anyway....
