MouthyGirl is a persona that I, Sabrina, took on a few years ago, quite accidentally when I was looking for new blog digs. My very first blog led me to want a wider forum, a wider subject base that was unlimited in it’s reach and potential. I was originally looking for something else and only thought of this because what I wanted wasn’t available. The minute the name came to me, the rest was history. I don’t write to a niche topic here. I’m like JackFM, I write what I want and I don’t care if you read it, I write with a niche perspective.
Over the years as I’ve written here and most recently in my sort of self imposed hiatus I have decided that MouthyGirl was always me, she has always been inside, only sharing herself sometimes. I don’t claim to be much of anything beyond dedicated, if anything I’m a damaged person and MouthyGirl allows me to get away with saying things that I wouldn’t normally say, and I get away with it.
In person I am humble, friendly and a great listener, letting everyone else take center stage. As MouthyGirl I am bossy, opinionated and ready to tell anyone where they can take themselves, and I will hog the spotlight. I have always craved the kind of attention and notoriety that famous people enjoy, but lacked the confidence and frankly, talent to assume the role of a famous person.
But this….this is where my star shines. When I first started this site, a friend who taught me a lot about blogging told me the one thing he would recommend was that I not censor myself. I am guilty of doing exactly that far too much. Out of concern for the people in my life that I sometimes write about and my relationships with them, I have censored some of my writings and not upheld that sacred standard that MouthyGirl suggests. That is over.
MouthyGirl is an alter ego of sorts that I am learning to embrace, with all of the consequences that may ensue. Join me for the ride won’t you?
