Something Strange and Wonderful

happened the other day. My partner read my blog. I happened to forward an email to her and, as part of my signature, there is a link to my blog. She followed it. She read the piece on depression. being a 'typical man' I have difficulty in talking about my feelings and emotions. This blog is, basically, a diary and a means of formulating my feelings into words. It does not really occur to me that someone may read it. I know that they do, well some people do, as they write to me. However, it is not written for the audience. The audience is secondary, if no one read this I would keep writing.

The effect of her reading the blog is that I have 'said' to Jane what is going on in my head. It had been impossible for me to do that face to face. I am so relieved that this has happened. naturally, the next steps as the secrets are no longer secret are to explore their implications. That is what to come. I may be pleased that the dialogue has started. That does not mean I welcome the dialogue itself.
