A while back I read a post about RVing and introversion by Cherie on Technomadia.com. Her post was very comforting to me and has become one of the 100 random thoughts circling repetitively through my head.
Her take is basically what I am hoping will be the case for me – the fact that she can move her home anywhere allows her a lot more freedom as an introvert.
Sometimes I don’t leave my house for days at a time (should I not admit that?), so I’ve figured it would be very convenient if I had a house that moved around.
When I started this blog, I decided not to share it with anyone. I thought it would be helpful to be able to say whatever I really thought or felt without worrying about people I know reading it. I shared the link on forum and blog postings and now feel terrified that people I don’t know are actually looking at what I write. (Do they like me? Not like me?) It really sets up some brutal self-scrutiny.
When I first started posting I was obsessively responding to every comment; then I didn’t like my comments so went through and deleted everything I wrote. Ugh, I don’t know why I get so weird.

Jennifer,
Don’t be so hard on yourself! lol Of course people like you thats why we follow your blog! And thats the whole point of a blog is to babble about whatever comes to your mind and not worrying about what others think. Hell who cares what others think! You have made a huge life changing decision that some people may not agree with (like my family). But when it comes down to it – its about you and your happiness! You are just at the beginning of a very exciting and brand new adventure! Be happy and enjoy the journey! I think I can speak for all RVers (full time or part time)and say that the RV community are the friendliest people you will ever come across. So don’t hesitate to ask us for advice or help! I am very excited to follow you on your journey and hope to meet up with you when our paths eventually cross! Have a beautiful and productive day!
Cheers!

Thanks Angie! I am headed to my high school reunion this weekend, so that was just the pep talk I needed. ; )
Heh. I read it because you are funny and you write well. I had no idea you had any issues with people or anyone reading your blog. You do a good job with it. The photos often make me laugh and I have even stolen a couple of them. :0)
Keep up the good work. Keep in mind, you have no idea who is reading your posts on forums. Sometimes, the words you type are read by people who are deeply affected by those words, but they never relay that information in a message back. It is very often not even the person who started the thread, but someone having a similar issue, but doesn’t want to join the group.
You are intelligent and have creative ideas. Don’t keep them from the people who may really need them.

I really appreciate the kind words, Wade. I was feeling a little over-exposed with my post, so your encouragement really means a lot.
(Glad you are enjoying/stealing the photos.)
