There are a number of writers that write as freely as they want. They say what they have to say, what they have in mind without any thought of who they could specifically impact. There are about 7 billion people in the world. I wonder how many people I have had a significant impact on? And more importantly, in what WAY have I impacted these people or just this one person?
I'm surely not one of those writers that speak their full story often. It is a very rare occassion that I do so. So when I do, you'd know it's serious. But that's beside the point right now.
As I walked anxiously to the bus stop this morning, I thought about the blogs I wrote about certain people or that I wrote specifically for one person to read up on. A few things in the end have happened. Many of them I don't take pride it.
Freedom of Speech:
*defined more by what you can't say, rather than what you are allowed to.
What I'm trying to get at is, we can't say what we want at any given time and without thinking ahead to how it could made a person feel, or think. This happened to me many times already. To think I'd learn from it by now. Never write things down in the heat of the moment and even then, think thoroughly about that you're saying.
It's the writer's curse; what he writes can be a relfection of him.
