>>>>>>I was thinking about my messages to you this morning and worrying that they were really presumptuous. It's easy to quickly say intimate things here anonymously :)
Philyra, I don't think they were presumptuous. They didn't hurt me, though maybe you were saying that they hurt you? The "ease" with which intimate things are said is something I struggle with. I worry I flood the board at my worst moments, saying stuff I should maybe have held back -- because it's too personal, too intimate, too (after the fact) embarassing. But then, when a subject is an intimate one, what possible good would it do to censor the real thoughts and feelings that go with it. Infact, I'm probably (alot of people maybe)way too used to holding stuff in in shame -- even if it's "only" the shame of being emotional or sensitive.
So, I'm glad for whatever people post (I can always reject something if I find it offensive) but especially when someone shares something personal themself.
