I signed on to
therealljidol, to be honest, on a wine-induced whim.
That's great, but now I find myself asking myself why I would do such a thing when I am generally a very private person who takes a loooong time to open up to a very few people. My persona can alternate between being quite bland, a little twitchy and, usually less in writing than in person believe it or not, aggressively outspoken.
I've only recently been identifying a personal quest to be more authentically ME and less what I think I ought to be in a given situation. Killing the chameleon, if you will. Simply identifying the quest is a big step, overcoming the propensity to clam up and dart back into the shadows as a result is my challenge.
We'll see how it goes.
