ON THE LINE

a new visitor to the blog is afraid that i'm getting myself into trouble by all my writing.

let's see...isn't that topic passe?

am i defaming anyone? no.

do i mean to hurt anyone? no.

am i in danger of having someone take advantage of me through this priviledged information? unfortunately, yes.

and i'm still willing to take the risk. because i'd like to think the people around me have no malicious intent. period.

but i'm not naive, or stupid...if you haven't realized that already.

(note that in the last two paragraphs, i have highlighted my optimism and street-wisdom.)

the above note is for the people who DO NOT understand my writing.

so i'm angsty. big deal.

is it so wrong for a 23-year-old female to whine about her life without actually whining about it?

shouldn't the world thank it's lucky stars for one less druggie and alcoholic, and for one young person full of conviction in life?

my writing is all about my life. and my adventures. and that's all there is to it.

if reading it, for some reason, scares the shit outta you, you know the way out. and there's no need to pay me lip service, thank you.

(as if that isn't a disclaimer enough.)

ultimately, my blog is really not an interesting read for the people who don't know me.

plus, there're only about five people who read this...regularly.

someone recently told me that i only want to surround myself with strong characters and cast the weak ones aside.

now, if that were true, i would've cast that someone away a long long time ago.

BUT HAVE I?

HAVE I?
