I don't feel like I write as well as I used to. Well, at first I thought that maybe I don't write because I have nothing to write about. Really, I have more to say than ever. About issues, that is. But truth be told, I'm afraid of change. I'm afraid to say something, then disagree with myself later. But I know that is inevitable and even healthy. Lately, though, I almost feel as though I don't have a right to an opinion, which is rediculous.
I've been writing in my handwritten journal again. I find my writting has geered to a more, ecentric, sort of poetry. And I'm self-centered. I need to step out of myself a bit. But why? So other people can understand me? I see things the way I see them, I use metaphors I understand, and I find that very, very few people also understand. That's okay, though, isn't it? Even asking that question is... I question myself a lot lately. On one hand I think, "I am just being open minded," but that is not the truth. The truth is, I'm afraid of being wrong. I want to know what is the truth, then I expose myself to so many ideas and see the validity in all of them, my brain gets contaminated to where I have no more sense of self. At first it was annoying, but now it's really aggrivating and sad and heartbreaking.
Maybe in time I will sift through them all and find where I stand. In the meantime, my instincts are telling me to write. Write about my thoughts. Write about how I view situations. But I also have this urge to write EVERYTHING. Where to start? What to say? How can I say something when I don't have a full picture yet? Where would it end? How to get it all down in some sort of logical manner. All of it. And there is a lot.
So I don't know. And I don't like not knowing.
