Why Writing A Blog Is Hard

I just finished writing a blog entry that I now realize I can never post. And I'm starting to think that maybe I'm just a little jaded about some things. I really shouldn't be so hard on people for isolated incidents and things that may only have happened once.

But that's just it though. Everybody sees through their own lenses. And lenses are limiting. One can only see as much as the lens will allow. So when I write a blog and verbally castrate somebody, I'm referring to them through my own personal lens of experience. And let’s face it, I’ve experienced some pretty weird shit.

So sometimes when people (like me) are a little jaded for various reasons, their lenses may be “dirty” from the build-up of various negative experiences. Everything one sees through these lenses is a tad bit cloudy with all the previously experienced gunky build-up. Looking through this dirty lens, it becomes easier for me to get out the big knife. So to speak, of course.

Which is why we all need to take a second and attempt to remove the filter, take off our glasses, and wipe away all the gunk! Because people don’t like putting together puzzles. In this world, you have less than a nanosecond before people begin to form opinions about you, and no one is going to enjoy your presence if they have to dig up their Little Orphan Annie secret decoder ring to figure you out. No one cares about why you’re acting the way you do. They only care about how. Lift the veil! Take off the cloak of superfluous jaded opinions, and really try to see the world whether it looks you back in the eyes or not. Wouldn’t you feel so free then?
I would.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that I never meant to hurt your feelings, reader. Sometimes I just want to show you what I see. But most of the time, I want to see clearly. And if you could do me a huge favor and call me out on that whenever you can, I’d actually be grateful. It makes me a better personal historian.
