one of the most frequent comments made about this diary is that i'm so honest. i appreciate this comment because when i bring my words here, i hardly ever edit them. on occassion i've thought about leaving parts of the story out, or not telling it at all and that's when i decided i should tell it. i titled one entry "i didn't want this to go in here, so it had to" because the subject matter was questionable and harsh. i wish i could title all my entries that because almost everything i've added has, in one way or another, been intensely private and i feel good about that. sometimes people take what they read here and make it about their own ideas. i get offended by that sometimes but as my richie has said "you put it out in a public forum. whether it's private or not is inconsequential at that point". know this: i write to make noise. i tell it truthfully and publish it because i know someone is reading it and identifying. i haven't exactly portrayed myself in a positive light here, but it's a real one. i'm not ashamed of who i am and never hope to be. thank you to those who respect that.
