A digital misfit

Living in a powder keg and giving off sparks

I never did give you an explanation for my going offline. Nor do I actually think this is the right medium for it, so I’m not going to. Not here, at least. If you want to hear about it, talk to me in real life. Suffice to say that my view of myself has changed significantly over the last couple of months – I’m not the person I thought I was (or perhaps not the person I was pretending to be). I’m not particularly proud of some of the things I’ve found out, while others have proven that some things I was deeply worried by are actually *completely* non-problematic.

This will be the last of the friends-only posts for the moment, though of course I might well have some further things to say that I don’t necessarlity want openly readable. I will be going through recent posts and, where appropriate, setting them publicly visible.

I would appreciate comments from all, those who know whats behind this bout of offline-ness and those that don’t. Comments on this post are screened, and, should you feel a desire to comment anonymously, the next public post will have anonymous comments screened.

    Well, if that wasn’t cryptic, I don’t know what is.

    (But hey, that’s okay. You said you wanted comments, and sadly I don’t have anything more useful to say…)

    of course, whatever you need is the most important. but those of us who don’t see you in real life would appreciate occasional posts to know you’re still alive and more-or-less ok. good luck.

    I hope you’re OK. That sounds like some serious shit you’re going through, and I remember *exactly* how much times like that suck. If you want a listening ear, just email me.

      I’m OK, its more a question of watching some other people go through it – though I am somewhat entwined with the situation.

    sorry to hear that you’ve been having an extra-mojo experience of one sort or another, but from the sounds of it overall it has been positive and transformational, i hope in a good way. it’s good to keep evolving and occasionally re-assessing things, but remember that life goes on and passes more quickly all the time so make the most of your opportunities!

      Its mostly good for me, but also somewhat inappropriate to talk about here because there is some related bad stuff happening to other people.
