More information than I needed to know

How many times has someone told you more information that you needed to know?  Some people crave and thrive on all the information they can get of a personal nature.  Others of us just want the facts, while some of us are quite content in total oblivion. What does all this really mean? I think it means we all have secrets.  There are times when we need to keep them, and times when we need to give them away to someone else.  The dilemma in this is that we as the teller of the information are in control of when we need to release it, we as the recipient are not always ready to receive the information. So we often times find ourselves in that awkward situation of hearing something we really don't want to or that may offend us on some level.  I think we have all crossed the line of giving too much information, in essence purging ourselves, saying something out loud often times frees us from its clutches. It makes us able to see we won't be swallowed whole or consumed by it when we set it free.  So I think as the receiver of that information, we maybe need to look at it as we are helping them to move on and our embarrassment, upset or whatever emotion the information spurs in us will pass. Even so there are some things no one ever wants to hear, but there is nothing that can be quite forever.........nothing
Big or small, happy or sad, beautiful or ugly, gigantic or minuscule, important or irrelevant, appropriate or not, the words will eventually find their way to speech, even if only for a brief moment and almost surely to the wrong person in the most inappropriate way. The secret will free itself and quickly become yesterdays news. So this blog is my attempt at setting my demons free and letting others hear my secrets, so they will not longer control me and I can be free of them for a while........So remember in the days to come if you can't believe I said what I said..... fair warning,  I will be giving away more information than you ever needed to know.   Do me a favor and just listen and maybe I will find some success at the end of this journey
