Intrusive personal question post

[suspectclass]

You people are far more interesting than my whining. So I have a question: What do you want to say that you haven't? Not to me, though I guess that's a possibility. But in general, I know there are things I've been carrying around for a day or for years that I want to say but won't. Because I'm scared to, because it's not worth it, because I'd only be doing it for myself and it wouldn't actually be a good thing for anyone else . . . you get the idea.

I'm allowing anonymous posting and turning off IP tracking, though you're more than welcome to sign your comments. Have at!

i have been disowned by my 12 year old daughter. i've always had guilt, tons of guilt, about being the non-custodial parent. i've tried to do the best i can with her. i call and visit often, have her over often, give her father money monthly, etc. still, what i have always feared has happened. suddenly, i don't have a daughter. as a human, this makes me feel like a failure.

i always wondered what the difference between playing/teasing and flirting. i feel like its a thin line that i don't walk very well and it usually gets me into trouble.

I understand your quandry. I think the fourth commenter probably does as well.

I want to swear, but I don't do that.

Sometimes I want to swear AT people, ironically, to stop being so miserable, to stop allowing themselves to wallow in self-pity when it would be so so easy to do something, or a lot of things, to make their lives good for them.

And a lot of times I want to overshare, because I want that instant connection. I want to tell everyone I've dated women and it's no big deal, and I want to tell people about my so-called attempted suicide and how I decided to go have a mango instead. And isn't that what it all comes down to? Death or mangoes? But I try not to.

And, pretty much all the time, I want to preach to people.
