What if I just wrote what I was thinking, in spite of those voices that tell me I’m being selfish or silly or self-centered or navel-gazing or it’s not important.
I love reading the writing of people who do this, so I think I should try it, too. And if people come around and tell me I’m preoccupied with things that don’t matter… well, at least I won’t be surprised, since that’s what part of me is already telling myself, anyway.

I make a point of speaking my mind on my blog. I will say that it attracts the trolls. I am a WOC and so I try and tell myself that it is because I am coming from a perspective that is not often respected in western culture but the truth of the matter is that I think far too many took a page from Jim Jones and are happy little kool aid sippers.
Well… yes, but I was talking more about personal stuff like all the stuff that floats around in my head about blogging and how it has affected my life, and how other things have affected my life, and how I FEEL about this, that, and the other thing, and online identity, and the definition of “internet famous,” and who decides what fame is, and what does it mean in a web 2.0 world…
on and on and on, and to ME this stuff is very interesting, fascinating, compelling, thought-provoking, life-encompassing…
but I’m waiting for someone to come along and yell “What about the starving children??” at me.
