Write Like No One's Reading...

I have fallen into some of the traps and gulfs that I once told myself I would never fall into. I have failed, pitied myself, hated others, stolen, lied, and compromised myself, my dreams, and sometimes my values.

I have fought with myself on many of these issues in desperate attempts to bet back on the horse and keep going. Sometimes I have succeeded. Other times...?

One thing that I am proud to say is one on which I have not faulted is gossip. I haven't ever become a gossip, or snitch. I can't even stand the tabloids, TMZ, and other similarly filthy unproductive pieces of "news information."

People who collect these snippets of information regarding people's private lives and hock them to the public ask only one thing in return for this mostly useless piece of trivia, your attention.

Seriously, how many of these "blogs" are out there right now which are people just straining to be noticed because of the information they have about someone other than themselves?

You might be asking yourself at this point, "isn't this a little hypocritical?" I might agree, if I had a readership. Although, if I did, I wouldn't write about the things of which I am griping. It might also be hypocritical if I wanted attention. I don't. I don't care if anyone reads this. I simply didn't have any other place to write tonight. So here it is. My private thoughts on my private page.

Weather people read it or not, it's for me. Just for me.

Write like no one's reading
Sing like no one's listening
Dance like no one's watching

I have read and heard this things a thousand times before. Now it just means be yourself, for yourself, and for no one else. If that's true then all this posturing, all this "Top Spaces" social media means what exactly?

Seriously...because if you ARE reading this, you still may not know me at all.
