There is no doubt that it can be good to talk about, or write down, ideas and feelings. But for me, when I express myself, I usually feel that I need to justify myself – not just on my terms, by in a way that will satisfy the listener. I know this is wrong and probably indicates some pointless, deep-seated lack of confidence, but it’s not something I can switch off.
This blog is my indulgence – an experiment in anonymity. Is it possible for me to drop my inhibitions here, by distancing my 39-year-old ego from these writings? Can I maintain my freedom of expresion and prevent a new ego arising with its own prides and insecurities? Can the confidence I exhibit in these writings help my ‘real self’ to gain the confidence to act without the need for justification?
On another level, I hope to have fun using this outlet for whatever happens to be fascinating me, for random creative writing, and for whatever else suggests itself.
That is my justification.
