How much of one's life is appropriate to put online?

To some extent, we are all online whether we choose to be or not. But how much should we really choose to reveal to the world? Some upload all of their inner turmoils. Others upload only the superficial, those surface emotions that are clearly evident to every bystander to their lives.

How much do I want to upload? To some extent, there is a certain amount of animosity when it comes to how much your life even matters to others. Would a potential employer care how you felt on a given subject? Or would they frown upon the raw, straightforward sharing of said subject?

How much does it really matter whether you write your thoughts on a piece of paper, on a word document, or on a blog? Is there really more of a chance that somebody who matters is going to read on any given medium, if you don't give them the knowledge of its existence?

  1. For me , a newbie to blogging , sharing anything seems to be a bit daunting as you are sharing thoughts that define who you are and who your bloggers read you to be. People might agree with you on somethings but have a completely drastic view on another. But writing it down and being able to share it and meet people who face such simple yet totally relatable problems or thoughts from a different part of the world reminds you of the small role you end up playing in inspiring another .Doesn't matter if you write something personal or even about that annoying neighbour across the road, as long as you are able to touch upon a subject that you feel gives your perspective and makes you relatable to your audience.
    Ps:- Totally loved your article on achievement
