The question is when starting a new blog is; who will see it? Does
it matter? How does it affect the expressive qualities? Will I care
more knowing a friend has seen what I have to say? Will I care less?
It's a strange thought to share private information in a public forum,
a possible insecurity, a rambling embarassment. Tonight i'm tired, and
with tiredness for me comes apathy. Sleep ranks above all else, I don't
know exactly why, i'm sure I could give it a label I found somewhere.
But it's an issue that i'm still exploring. Perhaps i'm never really
tired, just have a poor tolerance o being slightly tired. It makes
sense to me. But this is about fear, this is about therapy and personal
growth, this is about growing up. I fear being unable to sever myself
from the sheltered life of my parents. I know they love me so much that
they would never turn me away, I could drop out of college and take up
drugs as my only habit. They would still love me. It's wonderful to
have this, and yet, I take full advantage of it. they pay in entirety
for my life, for my schooling for my rent, for my utilities, for my
food. I have a wonderful life with full financial security. But I tink,
thats not my issue at all. I think I have stopped exploring my problems
as a whole recently because I simpley have not had enough time to care
about it. I need to take the time I have and care, I think thats
important for my personal growth. I don't really know if i've come far
or not, I don't really know where I started. Embarassment is a problem.
I want a solution. What do I fear about embarassment? I don't think
it's a lack of acceptance, no maybe judgement? It's hard for me to
pinpoint, and I wont toss a label on what i'm afraid of here either.
but embarassment is a good place to start. It's the reason I don't wear
high heels or skirts or eyeliner.
How do you
discern between a look? What is a stare because of disgust versus a
stare because of beauty. I see people, they could be looking and saying
to themselves; oh god, shes ugly. They could be looking saying to
themselves; wow, shes beautiful. I can't measure my own responses
because I don't think they're normal. we stare for different reasons,
so how do you know? why does it matter? apathy is dangerous, apathy can
ruin lives faster than anything I know. to stop caring is to give up
everything, if apathy is bad, then how do you care without
embarassment, without fear, what other emotion can go into their
places? Caring, more so giving a shit, i think, is a delima. Caring too
much about one and forgetting the other, caring too much about, i
suppose, what people think. Maybe I do fear judgement. Maybe that is a
sign I can hang on my problem. What are the risks? There are no risks
in self exploration, only improvement. So then, I fear the way they
might look at my drawn face and think i'm too skinny, I fear that they
may think i have an eating disorder, i fear the way they will look at
my legs, i fear the way they will focus in on a detail and ignore all
else. I realise people are not objective viewers. People can't usually
comprehand averages I think.
Embarassment because I
think people are judging me as foolish, as an unattractive girl all
dressed up. Do I break this fear by dressing up? Do I leave it be? Do I
buy new clothes? i'll leave a note for exploration later, this needs to
ferment a bit, grow stagnant with typos, I realise i just said that in
case someone reads this, ha.
Explore embarassment. Explore judgement. Explore fear.
Good night.
