Tonight's Poet Corner: Introspection
Okay. Okay, okay, okay. I know I have written a plethora of stressed out, cynical introspections over the past three or four months. I know that they may come across as whiny or self-despairing. I know that writing about this stuff ultimately can end up stressing me out more. I know that I have loved ones severely question me on my decision to share my experiences, asking me, "Aren't you worried about being too open with your feelings and having people reading this and getting you in trouble for it?" I am not demanding sympathy, or pats on the back, or gushing sentiment. These introspections have recently been really cathartic to write, and while maybe talking about my life so candidly for people to see may come back to bite me one day, I do like letting my immediate circle of friends know what's up, and I like being able to look back on my earlier days and see what I've needed to work on, what I've learned, and how I've been able to push forward.
