So I had a bunch of really deep and personal stuff that I typed up...about an hour's worth...that I was going to use as my first real "journal" post. Heartfelt and honest, it was deep and insightful.
But I, as with a lot of men, can't truly be openly available except in the most intimate and secure of circumstances. So I deleted it all like the emotional coward that I evidently am.
Really, the the part that I couldn't get past, is that I would be "sharing" with a bunch of strangers. Well, no, that's not true, I don't share with my friends, either. I am a classically repressed male who has like 6 modes: Happy, Angry, Fishing (neutral), Sexual, Lovey/nurturing, and Mischeveous. No where in there is "Vulnerable".
So, it got me to thinking, how do y'all do it? How do you spill to the void of the internet and not feel self conscious as hell? There a trick to it?
