Earlier, I deleted a couple of comments from my blog. I then deleted a post I wrote. Why, you ask? Because I was afraid of the repercussions. I was afraid it might hurt someone’s feelings or make someone mad. When I sat and thought about that for a moment, I got pissed.

This is my blog. This is a forum dedicated to me and my life and my opinions and my…whatever I want. The fact that I feel like I have to censor this because of what anyone else might think is really, really irritating to me. Something else that has me one flaming hot Cheeto is that now my friends are scared to comment on my blog because I might have to face consequences. That is complete and total crap.

So. I’m going to repost my earlier post, and I invite any and all comments. I ain’t skurred.

I’m going to say this, and I’ll shut up.

This is my blog. It is about me. It’s about what I’m feeling or doing or thinking at any given moment. If you want my blog to always represent you in a positive manner, always do positive things. If you don’t want me to post about something you’ve done that’s upset me or hurt me or made me angry, don’t do anything that upsets or hurts or angers me.

Otherwise, accept the fact that this is my place where it’s all about me and intended to be all about me. Accept that this is the one place where I can say whatever I like, whenever I like. Accept that if you’re mentioned here, for good or bad, it is because you have a role in my life, major or minor, not because you’re the star of the show, regardless of how much you wish that were the case.

If you can’t handle this, don’t read my blog. Pretty simple, no?

To those of you who read this via LJ or a feed, I’m sorry about the repeat. I just wanted my message heard, loud and clear.
