Safety & Comfort

I can't stop yearning to write, to be here, to blog here. This is a home for me, and I've missed it. And yet...
I've struggled some over the past months with privacy (or not), and safety (or not). Being on my own- No, let me stop there and rephrase...Some things have happened since being on my own that gave me pause. I had to stop and think about my current situation and if my level of safety has changed, or if my level of comfort has changed, neither, or both.
I've considered making my blog private, but that didn't feel right at all.
Not blogging hasn't felt good. I miss writing.
I considered starting a new blog and being anonymous.
In the end, though, I love this blog. I've put a lot of myself here in these hundreds of posts. I love sharing my experiences freely, never really knowing who might find their way here.
I don't think I'm less safe now, but my perception of safety has changed a bit.
My comfort level...now that is another story. Lots of people from my in-person life find their way here - students, relatives, teachers, friends, business associates. I'm feeling very vulnerable the past few months, and that is something I'm still contemplating- how vulnerable can I allow myself to be here right now?
Anyway, I feel myself being drawn back. I'm longing to spend time in my blog home.

I read this post and felt very much in-sync with much of what you wrote. I think lots and lots of people are feeling vulnerable and unsafe at present. I can relate to putting yourself out there (here?) and getting tread on. I think what is happening in the world right now is that there are a lot of people who are scared and sometimes they lash out at those who they think are safe to lash out at. Feeling vulnerable is when we are closest to God, because our ego has run out of diversions to distract us from Reality. It feels yucky, but it's generally a good thing.
