Yet another wonderful insight

It's been interesting, viewing the attacks I've been getting both here and on GU. And I just realised how healthy it is that I've been getting tham.

Part of the whole business of healing, and particularly in my creative healing, is to put out into the world what's in me, rather than wonder if it's acceptable or not. If I spent every last breath wondering if what I say or do is absolutely PC, correct, nice, inoffensive, or perfect, I'd never write a goddam thing.

So I'm pleased that I'm getting negative responses. It just goes to show that I'm bringing authenticity to the fore.

"Salsar" has been going on about my hypocrisy and contradiction, which I'd have thought were human qualities. That's been another thing I've had to deal with for a long time: the shame of being human, and not being perfect.

And that's another "fuck you" response from me.

I remind any reader of this blog that it's written not for anyone else, but for me. What other readers make of it is entirely up to them. If they like it, are provoked by it, are energised, appalled, mortified or in awe of it, then they either don't have to read it, or they can do what they want.

I'm realising that there may well be some very intelligent readers out there, who can decide for themselves what's right and wrong, good and bad, or indifferent.

This is an exporation of myself: it may take me into strange or disquieting territory from time to time. I'm not going to adit it for niceness' sake. I suggest if you seek nice, reader, you go elsewhere...
