Twitter allows me to be me. I find it non judgemental, I can say what I like and how I feel and even discuss quite personal issues.
I started my blog as a way to tweet longer, to explain a tweet and to be able to express an opinion.
My blog developed into somewhere I could share my experiences of parenting teens and as a place to give and receive advice.
We then moved to South Africa and it has become a permanent record of our families life here and the difficulties faced living in such a beautiful yet dangerous country.
The reason I use twitter over Facebook to promote my blog is I don't want certain people reading it, I don't want their comments, opinions and judgements. I don't want their pity and I dont want them sharing our lives with people I don't particullarg want to share my life with.
I've given the link to a few family and friends that I feel I can trust and don't object to them finding me on twitter.
Twitter allows me to be me, where as on Facebook I play the role of the daughter, the sister, the friend people want me to be.
