I'm told over and over by family that I "share too much" online.
As a writer, I know my BEST work is through BARING my soul. Any Artist will Understand that.
But it's not just that....you see, some day I will be gone. ALL that will be left of me is memories AND my posts. I don't have children. I have never done anything overly amazing to get me a grand reward/into a hall of fame. I have only what I MAKE...HERE. My words, my deeds...and my internet posts.
What I Share online gets to kind of Live Forever. The laughter, the tears, the thoughts, the opinions....I shall become a Ghost In The Machine for all who subscribe/follow me. I'm good with that. I'm actually Happy with that. I have Given You Something...to remember.
“...no-one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away... The span of someone's life, they say, is only the core of their actual existence.”
