So open, yet so afraid.

It's funny to me how afraid you really are of everything. Yes you tell your most intimate details in your blog, you tell your name, your im, your e-mail, maybe even a picture. You do everything short of putting up your address and phone number so that people can find you. Yet when someone im's you and talks about your blog you sign off. If someone writes a comment on your blog and you don't know them you try and track them down and see who this person is that dares make a comment. Why are you so afraid? You've left you life open to the world but you cut the ties when someone tries to make a real connection. It's really that which separates you from me. I am not afraid. Not afraid of the criticism, not afraid to make a connection. For I know that a connection is all we have. Moments, connections in time. They are fleeting, they are powerful and they are what make us more godlike. We learn from others. It's alright to be open and honest to break those chains of oppression that have shackled you for so long, but don't shy away when you are free because those chains can grow back.

I'd like to comment also that being free and honest and open doesn't necessarily mean sharing every detail of your waking life. I've come to realize why I like the blogging so much, it's because I can set you free. A system has been set up to imprison you to take away from you your ultimate goal. I want to free you from your chains, free you from your inhibition's. This isn't a bad thing, it is sometimes misconstrued as such by the moral majority. The questions you have to ask is who is setting up the rules? What is truth? Just because things always have doesn't mean the always were or have to be. It's time for you to think for the first time in your life about your life.
