Censorship

Posted in General at 7:58 pm by Janet

I often write emails that I never send and blogs that I never post.  Why would I do this? 

For me writing is cathartic.  I write when I am angry at someone and feel like I need them to hear my point of view.  I write when I am upset at the world, usually for no particular reason.  I also sometimes write when my heart is breaking over a family member. 

I always censor myself.  The emails and blogs get changed into something more acceptable or else just deleted altogether. 

 After I write and censor I always feel better.  It’s almost like having my own psychologist just to listen to me go on about my problems.

It may seem pointless and silly, but sometimes I feel like I’m teetering on the brink and writing gets me back to safety. 

Not to go into too much detail but I feel an email coming on.  You can be sure I will delete it before anyone sees it. 

Am I the only person who does this?
