(no subject)
I haven't been diligent about journaling. If I don't do it every day (with perhaps a few exceptions) I won't keep up the habit. And I am convinced that doing this will be a good thing.
So here is some stream-of-consciousness about what I've learned in the last week.
Since I have decided to come at least partially out of the protective cocoon of my own creation, I have found that people /can/ be decent, positive and humane. (In one case, mind-alteringly, amazingly, preposterously wonderful. ahem. *redface*) At least, I find them in the electronic world. So far no luck finding them in my own neighborhood or school; I know, though, that at least several of them are real, genuine people.
This discovery, that not /all/ people are abject asshats, has improved my outlook remarkably over the past few weeks. I woke up happy this morning, I mean REALLY happy. That's unusual, and I approve. I wouldn't want every day to be like that. There has to be /some/ pathos in life, if it's going to be interesting, doesn't there?
On writing: Having taken the bold step of posting some fiction pieces that I wrote, I have received such positive feedback that I can think about posting a lot more without feeling sick. I'm going to work on that the rest of this week.
Okay, if I don't post this now I'm going to re-read it and re-edit it until I decide it's no good, and delete it. And that, my friends, is a path to insanity. <--- This was a lie, I re-read and re-edited for ten more minutes until now, at which time I am ACTUALLY going to click POST and be done with it. Pray for me, my brothers and sisters. Pray hard.
