I got this lesson from Rachel's and Finn's (failed) relationship. Everything was going great, until Rachel dug up some old dirt about Finn and Santana hooking up, and then things went sour for these two. Although Rachel had the right to know about Finn's past, they weren't together when it happened, and it eventually ate away at her until she let jealousy get the best of her. What's the lesson to be learned from this? Sometimes not knowing something is the best way to go. If people knew everything everyone said or did behind their back, we'd all go crazy.
This leads me to my personal Rachel-story. My boyfriend and I had broken up, and a couple weeks later he starts communicating with me again. Against my better judgement, I ask if anything happened while we were broken up. Huge mistake. Not only was I pissed (over a guy who turned out to be a total jerk), but I was better off never even letting him back into my life again. Call me crazy, but some things are better off not known.
Have fun, N. Go with some specifics. You don't have to tell everything, but a few things. Start thinking about a looser approach to your lessons. Think: voice. More intimate, more relaxed. Write your posts as if you're talking to a good friend. Fill in some blanks, let yourself sound like yourself. :)
