Thank you so much for your insights. I wonder if when you write, you look back on the writings and wonder if it makes sense? Sometimes I think that by just putting your words out there w/o wondering what people think makes a difference?
Hi, James!
Hhmmm... that's a good question. Funny, I've never thought of these things, before. No, I don't ever wonder if I make sense, actually. I know I make sense. In fact, if everyone around me were to think one thing, and I another thing, I would believe in what I think; not what everyone else is thinking! I do, though, sometimes read a few of the things I wrote in the past, that I no longer agree with now. So, I definitely think that I can change what I think at times, but I still believe that at the time of writing what I wrote, I did make absolute sense. :) :) I don't feel like I'm writing a diary or something like that; rather, I feel like I am giving time-tested truths to people, so there's no doubt in my mind about the things that I say. Tested by time perhaps not in this lifetime... but perhaps during many lifetimes before this one! :)
When it comes to writing, I'm not timid. I can't say the same thing about myself as a person functioning in day to day life (shyness is something I often struggle to overcome, but of course through the years I've gained an upper hand on it, eventually). I've always had a strong shy streak to me, it's like a bright red streak of hair on my head! You know? It's like it's always there... but when it comes to writing, I don't carry that shyness with me! In fact, I often have to tone myself down when writing. Nevertheless, sometimes I feel like I am writing beyond my comfort zone, and I wish that I could just stop writing and be at ease! But alas, writing is something that I hunger for and I return to my pen, often sooner than I would like to! :)
