all part of growth, I guess?
I happened to look at a couple of my posts from way back when, and I realized: some of what I wrote was just terrible. Nearly unreadable, especially if anyone was unfamiliar with the people and places I encountered and the way my time was scheduled. Obviously part of this reaction may be overly self-deprecatory but there was definitely a lack of clarity and an excess of rambling.
So to whoever slogged through those posts of yesteryear - or at least tried to - I salute you for putting up with my bad content and style. No apologies though; that is who I was, and even if it's not necessarily apparent to a third party reading my words, a great deal of them provide some insight into how I thought.
This realization doesn't really encourage me to write more, given the fact that I may look at this as garbage in another 4 or 5 years. Especially when I struggle to find something interesting and/or meaningful to say.
I'll keep trying, though. And when I do feel the writing itch in the near future and actually have something I feel is worth putting down, I'll make the extra effort to make it a tad more universal and clear.
