So I just did something, nothing earth shattering, nothing huge, but I put a piece of myself out in the world and I feel sick. I’m shaking and nauseous and the only thing that keeps me from crying is that I have told myself I will delete it in 10 minutes. In 10 minutes I will pretend it never happened, unless something good comes from it…which I doubt…oh god, what have i done…
Mary Anne–I really hope something good does come of it. We all deserve validation. It is so hard to take action because you not only risk ridicule [which totally sucks, no matter how mild] you also risk….nothingness, as in “What if nobody cares one way or the other?”
