Damn it I'm doing it again

I kept a blog before this one for a long time, and stayed anonymous, because I was afraid that if my ideas and whatever actually had my name on them, I would start to censor myself. What if people get upset at what I think, what if people don't want to be associated with me, what if I disappoint people, or offend people, or lose friends,
what if what if what if. And I'm doing it again. Not saying things I want to say, because I do want people to look at my blog. I want to promote it, and make friends with it, and connect with others through it. I had a surprising amount of friends on the old blog. I was totally candid. But I never showed it to anyone who could connect it to me. I wanted to avoid that this time. But it looks like it is going to be a tough road. I'm very upset with myself.
