Yeah, it is all a matter of opinion. We all have one, and even if we disagree with another's point of view, they do have the right to have their own. I stopped for a few minutes after my work day (that kicked my ass) and read over an old entry, remembering why I felt I had to edit it, to explain my point of view to someone else.
And I found myself wondering why I was compelled by someone else's disagreement of my views, to explain "why" I originally wrote what I had.
You know, I'm old enough and have put in enough time on the planet, to not have explain my anything to someone else. I do not believe I shall do that again. It has happened more than a few times here and on my closed blog Souly Speaking. Agree or disagree, this particular and very small blog is not even a speck compared to the information shared on the internet. A great deal that is offered to billions of readers is rarely an absolute fact . The writer has license to express themselves, and other chose to read it.
No one co-authors my blog entries. I may not be the most interesting, or"the thing" of the moment, but it is all mine. In some respects it is a public diary. (and no, I won't talk about everything here.) If I wrote it down with pen on pages kept in my room I would not suddenly decide to delete or edit entries for someone else, so I don't believe I shall let that occur here again either. I am pretty sure, to most who actually follow my entries, that I had reasons for what I previously entered. Justifying my stand is something that I should not have felt obligated to do.
And...I have come a long way between the 3 blogs. Not bottling things up was my way of not internalizing and burying my feelings, and today I am healthier for it. It is unfortunate that Gilly can not give feedback or I may have worked things out differently. But when you are alone, there is no way to share and release..other than what I have done here. My Friends would likely prefer to not answer a 3am question about life as it circles my brain for the 4th time.

Glad you will do no more self-censoring. As you said, this is YOUR BLOG. No one is forced to read it, you are not threatening anyone with anything you have written.
Yes, you have come a long way, baby!
Love, Mel
