The blog's name comes from a quote by Mae West: Keep a diary and one day it'll keep you.
I kinda like that. I always have thought that I'm writing this for someone...some unknown identity, be that the 'persona' my computer has taken over, or that openness that I feel as I'm writing. Someone that wants to see this down on paper, wants everything to be recorded.
Right now, I don't do much looking back - I write to help myself move forward. But one day I could see myself reading all of this, remembering where I came from, what I've been through, and using that to help me along. In a way - it will keep me.
So my blog is Keeping Me In. Keeping me sane by letting me express all of that stuff I can't express any other way, keeping it in a contained, restrained environment of my computer screen. I let it all out here - truly keeping it in here - not needing to let it happen out there.
Yes, other people can read this, but it really is my own personal pensive. Releasing my thoughts until I need them later. Because, as Mae West says - someday I will.
