How I was feeling. Feeling lonely after moving to a
 new city. Told story of my epically "being dumped".
   Private thoughts towards political issues. A tweet
    from a date. I've posted long blog posts about
   terrible breakups and details about one-night
stands. Failing on a date. Setting fire (accidentally) to
my own house. Client woes. Notices of hair growing
     in unusual places. Anniversary of my brothers
  death...it was out of character. Being a new mother
  and how that felt. Details of my sex life. When I got
    engaged. A blog about the death of my son.
 Thoughts on troubles I was having with my wife. Being
 in an open relationship. Infertility struggles. That I
  was not proud of what I've done in the past 10 to 20

 rejects brands who ‘court’ them and instead
prefers to pull in the brands that resonate with
            them and their values.
