I’ve been blogging here for nearly 15 years and I’ve always been anonymous. I can’t now remember why.
It might have been because when I started I still had a job. There were things I didn’t want to be seen saying, like Why I’m scared to leave my job. And there were people who I didn’t want to see who I was behind the work persona.
It might have been because I was shy. You might not think it from what I share online, but I’ve always been quite a private person. Hiding behind a pen-name (pixel-name?) allowed me to be more open, because no-one knew who I was.
I think that might be about to change.
