I’d love to read your responses

My brother found out about my old blog because all his friends were reading my racy, shopping, and GRWM (get ready with me) posts. My brother told me to shut down my site because he was embarrassed that his friends were constantly talking about my blog, I told him to kick rocks and that he wasn’t the boss of me. So then he threatened to tell my parents but I didn’t back down from his lame idle threat. In fact, I doubled down and told him to go right ahead because IDGAF. I did, however, tell him that I wouldn’t write about him or the parental unit. His response was a loud sigh and an eye roll.

Then it got weird. Like really weird. I went on a date with Jerry once, who also happened to read my blog. We managed to stay cordial for a couple years afterward till we lost touch. But where it got strange was… turns out Jerry started dating my sister-in-law’s best friend. Small world, huh? Anyway, when Jerry found out my brother was… well my brother, he tried to talk to him about my blog. My brother wasn’t havin’ it and shut Jerry down with a quickness because he didn’t want my sister-in-law and her bestie to know about my blog.

For the most part, a majority of my Korean friends knew about my former blog. As for this one, a few of them know it exists and have left comments in the past. These days, they’re more into IG and TikTok instead of reading blogs.

    Ah, I’m glad you found me here and started commenting on my posts before. Keep writing coz I enjoyed your thoughts. This blog will surely better compared to the former one, and it’s good to be a little secretive.

    That is good you stood up to your brother about your blog. It should not concern him. That is ridiculous. By the way those pumps look amazing.

      hehe thank you, Jesse!!

    You should never let other people dictate what you do. You are a grown woman. That is crazy.

    Yes, and no.

    I started my blog about 14 years ago. A few of my family members know about it, but they don’t read it. X2 knows about it. I don’t think she reads it anymore, not I could be wrong. A handful of friends know without it, but they either don’t read it on a regular basis or haven’t really put on and one together.

    I’ve considered “pulling back the curtain” and putting my actual photo on blog, but I would be really reluctant to give up 14 years of relative and annuity

      lol i find that sometimes it helps bring some sort of connection with others, but that’s just my humble opinion

      1. rebuilding rob Avatar

        I think that if some people knew that I was talking about them on this blog, they might not take it very well. Other than myself, everyone else’s names on the blog have been charged.

        But i do find that talking about my life and my experiences does definitely connect with other fellow bloggers.

          Yeah, that’s true too

    I don’t go out of my way to hide my blog, and my immediate family definitely is aware of (and sometimes reads) it, but no one at work knows.

    And just in case HR does stumble upon it, I’m vague enough about details that I can always say, “Huh, another Ian online. What are the odds?”

    You’re … frankness … is on another level, and I could never be that direct. At least, not on this particular blog…

    I really enjoyed reading this. It perfectly captures how the internet can make personal and family worlds unexpectedly collide. 😄 Your decision to keep writing while still respecting some boundaries felt mature and authentic. The Jerry plot twist was something I definitely didn’t see coming—it really proves how small the world can be. Thanks for sharing such a relatable and entertaining story. Looking forward to reading more of your experiences!

    Does your brother and sil read this one now? Not regularly, maybe a post or two?

    Those heels are a standout.

    1. justrojie Avatar

      Nah my sil never knew about it and my brother is thoroughly embarrassed by me so no for him too
