I'm setting myself a little target to blog regularly. This will give me something to work at while I go through this move out of home. I figured that I need things other than TV and the gym to keep me busy in the evenings once I eventually move and this could be the perfect thing.
Anyways, I've received some really nice comments, not specifically via the blog, but via Twitter instead. These have spurred me on to carry on with this as long as I can but already, the downside of baring your thoughts in front of strangers has reared it's ugly yet expected head... sooner than I thought.
While reading my @replies on Twitter, one person decided to point out that one thing in my blog wasn't true. This observation was made about the quote "You can always come home". I am not stupid enough or ignorant enough to believe that this option will always be available. In fact, the last blog post basically encompassed that whole fear.
My decision to begin my blog in the way I did was to give indication that although I am aware of this, I cannot let it rule my decisions and what path(s) I take with life.
Although the smart remarks and negative comments were expected, I didn't think that after reading and understanding the purpose of my outpouring, anyone would be thoughtless enough to point out the dark core subject to my face.
I could understand if I was giving a personal opinion that maybe others may not agree with this and would like to discuss or argue their thoughts. All well and good! In fact, I love a good debate! The previous post was clearly not about this. It was about me giving myself reassurance about my future and the, in my eyes, feat I was about to embark on and for people to understand my workings.
I didn't specifically want my second posting to be on a subject like this but felt the need to say a few words on the matter.
In conclusion, I ask that if you read my or any blog, that you actually think about what you are replying to or commenting on. Consider the author's thoughts and feelings when the post is discussing their personal fears rather than opinions. And to end, basically, don't be a cunt.
