The Internet is a Scary Place, Sometimes.

That is the only reason I can give for always deleting and remaking this blog. I start to realize that total strangers know where I live, what I do, and more details about my life than my own mother knows. It freaks me out and I quit using the computer for awhile and try to get in touch with the world around me.

The catalyst last time I deleted was stumbling across nude pictures of a girl I know. A girl I went to college with. I know she did not post the pictures herself. Her ex posted the pictures on a site without her permission. And they ended up right here on Tumblr where I came across them one day after clicking a tag and looking through the archive.

It’s frightening. You know it could happen. But you don’t know until it does happen.

And the last two times I deleted were over creepy men who: saw a picture of me, read some angst-y posts of mine, thought they were “in love” with me, and tried to control my life from their computer chair.

Yeah.

So, here I am. Not necessarily to stay, but we’ll see what happens this time around.
