...for writing?
Yes, I think I am. I, and a lot of others, don't easily open ourselves up to discussing things going on in our lives. Mostly though, it's us guys. We think we're bullet-proof, that things don't affect us as much as the next person.
That, friends, is probably only true in a very small percentage of people. I've learned that the hard way, and in particular in the last couple of months.
One way that a lot of people do to express feelings and sentiments is through writing. I think I'm one of those. Just the other day I verbally expressed an apology to a friend to whom I hadn't been very considerate (which is, I think, very unlike me) and, although I rehearsed what and how I was going to say something, I changed it in my head so many times beforehand that it came out as a shadow of its former self. So I think I probably cocked it up a bit. In the end though, she accepted my apology, so perhaps I didn't do too bad.
Should this friend ever read my blog, unlikely as she doesn't even know I have one, I hope she knows that I'm still beating myself up about the whole story. Maybe I'll relate it in a posting...then you'll see what I mean.
Anyway... the song went "I'm in the mood for dancing..." so I'll change it slightly to "I'm in the mood for writing..."...
Look after yourselves out there, folks...
