The Discovery of the Shower Room
So yeah... the funniest thing happened. I'm still giggling about it. With everyone in my life, there are the two people I had feared most, hoping they will never run into the Shower Room. Ofcourse, as we all know, our greatest fears are bound to be realized. Hence, my two friends ran into my site last night, by accident. (Let's just say I blame other bloggers.)
I quickly thought of closing down the Shower Room following in the recent footsteps of Sissy and Soblo. That would make me the 3rd Torontonian blogger who called it quits in the last two months. Would he be next?
Nonetheless, I am actually grateful that my two friends have so much respect for me to inform me right away. I didn't overreact, replying in a nonchalant manner. But below my calm exterior, I was still terrified.
What do they think of me now? There are things in this Shower Room that I'm sure changed my two friends' perception of me. My quick defense was: "I have nothing to be ashamed of." My only hesitation is that there are things that I have not been open to talk to them about. Having said that, my two friends loved the pictures on this site.
To the new readers who recently found this site, this is my second attempt at blogging. The first blog had ugly repurcussions. When I opened up shop for the new Shower Room concept, I kept in mind that people I know will run into this somehow. Hence, this has led to censorship when speaking of the close personal relationships in my life.
To the friends and acquaintances who know me in the flesh, if you've been reading - please let me know. I'm not upset, but I can't really say that I don't care. I do wish to keep part of my privacy intact and respected. But do be honest, don't play shy or stupid. Let me know that you've been reading, whoever you are. Give me feedback.
I have been true to myself. I have been honest. I have been respectful.
I am a real person with good intentions. Much like you, I can be greedy. I can be selfish. I can be selfless. But, I want to be loved. I want to connect. I want others to identify. That is absolutely normal.
I have no regrets. Absolutely.
