The short version: Me too.
The longer version: If I were in a public meeting room and you were sitting there, I'd want to sit near you. If you're that unwilling to lie to yourself, you won't lie to me, so I would want to be infected with what you have. I lie to myself and actively try it some every day. I was nervous about writing you, so I put on some coffee to attempt to hold back my emotional truths.
You may see your words as analyzing, but it's unedited truth, a real gem among the journal writers here.
I had a dream/revelation myself last night, I'm fearing being so vulnerable myself, but thank you for being an example to go before me. I'm going to go share my truths in my journal now.
Thank you.
That’s the beauty of anonymity. I’m not being vulnerable. I’m one of the more closed off people you’ll ever meet, and I’d never in a million years say any of this stuff to anyone who knew who I am, let alone a group of them. Here I’m just a screen name. You may well have met me, and we’d never know it.
I’m being this open because I don’t know what detail will Help Shannon get what he’s trying to get done done. Plus it might help others decide wether or not to use a sub, or help others who are going through similar stuff.
Don’t feel bad that you lie to yourself. EVERYONE does. It is helpful to write them down or speak them out loud when you recognize them because once you’ve brought it to the forefront of your mind it’s easier to recognize it when you try to do it again.
Thank you for the heartfelt comment.
