I’m awake. It is the middle of the night and I am awake. I’m writing again. I’ve been doing that more and more lately in these sleepless nights. Yet, I haven’t dared to transfer any of them from paper to PC and actually post them online for anyone to read.
So what exactly has stopped me from doing so? The answer is fear… I’ve noticed that my writing, the ones still solely on paper, have become more personal, more raw, and at times confrontational. There have been a few instances where people lashed out at me over some of my writings or even the photos I had added.
Now I can handle criticism but I don’t want to start any pointless fights. So I have been torn. Do I play it safe and keep it all inside or do I post it anyway regardless of the flack I may (or may not) receive?
I have gone so far as to consider adding disclaimers to several of them that might be ill-received but that probably wouldn’t even help any. So I have decided that I have to stop letting my fear get the best of me and to start posting them anyway.
I will say right now that I am sorry for anyone that will feel hurt or attacked but there are my feelings, my thoughts, and right or wrong I simply have to get them out.
