Why I Stopped Writing About My Romantic Relationships

Don’t we all love to look into someone else’s romantic relationship and judge?

When I started writing, I would write about anything that popped into my head. I was in a new relationship then and determined to make writing my new career.

Looking back, I could have used a bit of discernment and kept many things to myself instead of writing about them. After writing online for almost three years, I am figuring out how to keep my personal life involving others to myself while still sharing my stories.

The balance has been challenging but possible. I have simply declared one rule: I will not write about personal relationships or dating. This rule also applies to my social media accounts.

Why have I made this decision?

When I write about my issues, it is the same as complaining to a friend. They will automatically choose sides without realizing they do, and they will choose sides without hearing all of the information or giving the other person the benefit of the doubt.

Trust me, inside my head, I can make anything distorted to make myself the good guy, most of us can. We can manipulate the narrative and make the other person always the bad guy or girl.
