You know I haven't really written a personal post in a long time and I started to think about why. I guess it became easier for me to just write about something I'm seasoned in like tech or data. And then I thought about how progressively as I get older I'm becoming a lot more private.
I remember in high school feeling like everybody should know the real me. I mean I want everyone to know the real me today but it's different. I feel like I'm real all day long but the little splinters of me, the idiosyncratic sides and secrets and stories are transparent to a ever shrinking group. I suppose this is a result from realizing that not everyone will appreciate and respect all that is disclosed.
Then I started wondering if that group gets so small that you eventually stay private from yourself. And I've just realized it's been a really long day and I really don't know where I'm going with this....
