disclaimer
Point is, what I share here is what I choose to share here. Because that isn't a whole helluva lot, anyone with the audacity to pass a judgment in the first place would be passing one based on incomplete information, and therefore would be easily cast into the role of ignorant braying jackass.
I think that's something we should all keep in mind when we read these diaries. When we read someone else's words, we're reading what they choose to reveal. I don't think there's a diarist out there who reveals everything, whether a diary is open or locked. (I sure don't. Not anywhere.) And even if someone writes tomes, it's never the complete picture because it's still only that one person's perspective. (That's not to say that it's not good to be a friendly shoulder to lean on or to offer support, though.)
It's certainly not up to anyone else to decide what each writer's boundaries are in what he or she chooses to reveal and how he or she chooses to reveal it, either."
