I think this year I'm going to have to let go of some demons.
I might need to rant about some things.
I might need to cry/drink/ache over some things. I hope not to do something else over such things, because that's something I want out of my life too. Starting with throwing out the larger plasters, so that I can't hide it.
I rather hope I can settle some things in my head and move on, just let it all go.
Rant away........

Pro Good idea, I've started to do that and feel better already. If you want to vent that's fine. Let's all let go and move on to a brighter future with less baggage xx

Whatever else, try not to feel self-conscious, or the need to apologise about the rantings. There are plenty of people on here who rant away - and plenty more people who would like to, and probably need to, but don't - but they will still recognise things that you say. And you may encourage them to let go a little too, who knows.
Anyway. Your blog, your feelings, your release, whatever. Say what you need to.
And throw those plasters away. Look forward to the day when you don't just hope, but you //know// you won't ever need them again. It'll happen.
Maybe this will help. Hope so, medear.

Pro I can't help but feel self-concious. I hold back on so much, which defeats the original purpose of coming on here a year ago.
It feels so self-indulgent and narcissistic sometimes.
But you're right, of course. As ever.

Course it feels like that - which is why we never end up telling even people who we know would listen if we needed them to.
That's the bloody guilt for you.
But here it's slightly different - because you know for certain that if people didn't want to read, they simply wouldn't do.
And then, even if no-one but you ended up reading what you write, it will still help, because you'll still have //said// it. Which is usually what ends up helping the most, after all.
And //then// the bonus is realising the number of people who will still read, and sympathise, even empathise, and understand what you're saying.
I've written a lot on my blog that I never expected to write here, and a lot that I looked back on even the next day and thought, Christ, what a self-indulgent dickhead.
But then again, it was what I was feeling at the time. And it helped. And, even more surprising, I wasn't geting responses from people saying, oh, shut the fuck up, you fool. I got responses from people saying, shit, that's just what I've felt.
Weird, eh?
