I know its negative, brash and caustic, unfortunately that's the raw me on certain issues. Obviously we all seek to water down our rudeness and aim to harness our darker natures but they are there and writing is a good tool to release the dogs for a run. This blog is a chance to get off the leash for a while.
If we always seek to write, as we think others think we should write, we will never find our own voice. Moralizing every drop of ink is innocuous and leads to an impotent pen. Dancing lightly over issues and always sanitizing them with antibacterial scrubs leaves one with a dangerously vulnerable voice.
We need our dirt...it bolsters our immune system towards dull group think.
We need independent voice and often it takes the adolescence of thought to arrive at the maturity of wisdom.
Writing is very cathartic but the process leaves a bloody mess sometimes.
What is the seal of attained freedom? -No longer being ashamed in front of oneself.
-Friedrich Nietzsch

This is good stuff and put so well. Didn't know you had it in ya.
I'm surprised Matt hasn't chimed in on this.
Give it to me real or not at all.
