ABOUT ONE'S SELF
HIYA PEEPS. I KNOW HOW WEIRD IT FEELS TO CUT THROUGH THE BULLSHIT AND TRY TO PUT THE TRUTH ABOUT YOURSELF INTO WRITING, BECAUSE (OK, I ADMIT IT) MOST OF THE TIME I'M BUSY MAKING UP SOME HYPE THAT WILL MAKE ME APPEAR STRONGER, RICHER, BETTER LOOKING AND SO ON THAN I REALLY AM. I'VE HARDLY EVER TOLD THE TRUTH UNTIL NOW... I WAS JUST WARY OF SETTING MYSELF UP AS A TARGET FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO SNIPE AT. SOMETIMES I WRITE THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH AND QUICKLY CROSS IT OUT AND SUBSTITUTE SOME COLOURFUL FICTION TO COMPENSATE FOR THE INADEQUACIES I ALMOST REVEALED. IT'S WEIRD... TOO WEIRD. BUT ANYWAY REALLY, WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE WHEN THE TRUTH IS OFTEN STRANGER THAN FICTION. FRANKLY NOW, I'VE ALWAYS LIVED LIFE OF GENTEEL POVERTY, HAVING BEEN BORN THE YOUNGEST KID OF A PAIR TO TWO SHELL-SHOCKED EUROPEAN WAR REFUGEES. I'VE OFTEN FELT THE FEAR RADIATE FROM ALL THREE OF THEM. NOW THAT I'M OLDER AND WISER, I'M WILLING TO REVEAL MORE ABOUT MYSELF AND MY EXPERIENCES IF ONLY FOR THE SAKE OF COMPARISON... NOT TO STROKE ANY EGOS OR THE LIKE, BUT JUST FOR THE HUMAN INTEREST, MAYBE WRITING TRUTHFULLY ABOUT ONE'S SELF MIGHT HELP TO SOLVE SOME DEEPSEATED PUZZLES. I THINK WE ALL HAVE THINGS WE WANT TO SAY BUT DON'T ALWAYS FEEL COMFORTABLE SAYING... WE ARE ALL HUMAN, EVEN IF SOMETIMES WE HAVE BEEN MADE TO FEEL SUB-HUMAN. I WANNA KNOW WHAT IS THIS FORCE THAT INTIMIDATES US SO... WHAT SAY YOU ?
