the purpose of my blogging was supposedly to let other people get to know who I really am, the way I know myself. It's been 3 years since I've started blogging and I haven't been able to finish the post which should have been the very 1st one: "Why I Am Who I Am"
This isn't even that post, yet. Why the long delay? I've gotten through a few drafts these past years and I haven't followed through because It either was too long or too boring, usually a combination of both.
I guess I'll just have to accept the fact that there's really no big event that took place that lead me in this direction. Who I am now was not a result of a dramatic incident. And my life really isn't that exciting.
But I'll try (maybe successfully this time) to actually post the things on my mind. Let's hope that the transition from though to written words will be as smooth as possible.
Yikes! No wonder you've been having trouble. I think that it's an impossible task to cover something as complex as the reasons you are the person you are in a single blog post. My brain hurts just thinking of such an endeavor.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to reading your thoughts.
Have you ever tried to just WRITE and let it flow from your mind from the paper without a thought to what others may thing. (a little proofreading when you're done). Its the only way I ever get a word out.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to reading too
(Jarred I have tried but can't leave comments on your blog!)
layla i've tried doing that... it works but the problem is, the mood to write doesn't always come when i'm in front of the computer... sometimes it's on the road or at work. Being a bit compulsive I have to act on that mood if i want to get something written, if i put it off it rarely comes back
ReplyDeleteThat's why they make notebooks, Rygel. Write it down when it comes to you, then type it up for the blog later. ;)
ReplyDeleteOkay, you asked for a push. So here you go...
ReplyDeleteIt's my understand that you come from a conservative Christian background, which make living as an openly gay man a difficult and frightening prospect. Are there any other cultural pressures that would contribute to the difficulty of you coming out?
welcome back rygel...glad to hear you're okay after a little hiatus.
