Let’s keep this simple. This is a thing of introspection, of association, of comparison, of recognition. This is also personal. And it is public. It is an odd combination that requires a prerequisite understanding that:
1. This is my point of view. My interpretation of events. It might not always match yours. It shouldn’t. That doesn’t mean that I don’t believe your version is just as real. It just means that this is how it is for me.
2. I will not post it if I do not mean for it to be read. I take full responsibility for what I write here. If there is a problem, please let me know. Earlier is better.
3. I spend a lot of time and effort dealing with depression. It is what it is. I mope. I am an amazingly proficient moper. This is one place where I speak candidly. But if it means anything, I generally have as difficult time reading my moping as anyone else.
4. This isn’t what I expected it to be. Then again, I’m learning to adjust my expectations.
Otherwise, if you want to know more about me, ask. I like telling stories.
