You and your experiences would bore only those that find nothing interesting.

I think there are loads of people reading the blog who relate to you and that would be my main reason for seeing you explore that avenue on the blog. It's amazing that we have a tool such as this available (i.e. the internet) and it's great to see it used in novel ways. I find your comments insightful and they probably help me to learn about myself as well. If I was gay I'd probably fancy you in a narcissistic kind of way - in actual fact I reckon I'd probably fancy your sister! Keep it real dawg.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6578792.post-1130147777448568942005-10-24T02:56:00.000-07:002005-10-24T02:56:00.000-07:00Hello mateI think the reason you interest your rea...Hello mate<BR/>I think the reason you interest your readers so much is you have the opportunity that most of us never will. You are able (whether that is good or not) to look at yourself as yourself. What we on the outside do is look at ourselves and evaluate that with what we think people should be seeing. <BR/>Given your situation you are able to, or have to, look at yourself only. That may be hard to follow; I guess I’m just saying that given your lack of physical freedom you are able to have complete mental freedom. The only thing that impacts directly onto you is limited by your inability to change factors impacting on you whereas we have unlimited factors of change surrounding us constantly.<BR/>I believe the reason we enjoy reading your blog is you are like us, we can relate to what you have done and relate to how you became who and what you are just like we did. There isn’t much difference between yourself and me as an example but I am able to get to know you without ever having met you and that is weird at the least.<BR/>Continue writing, you’re a great writer and I have little doubt that one day the time you are spending on the other side of the wire will actually shape you into what you would have been without the excess you (and I) have enjoyed earlier in life.<BR/>Whether to write about yourself; do. It will interest us your reading public and if it anyway helps (not that I believe you need help) you understand where you are mentally and why you are that’s got to be good all around.<BR/>Take care and keep the thoughts coming.<BR/>Cheers<BR/>GarethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6578792.post-1130135891861323752005-10-23T23:38:00.000-07:002005-10-23T23:38:00.000-07:00It does seem that your need to learn has transmute...It does seem that your need to learn has transmuted slightly - you obviously have a skill at learning about people, really understanding what makes them tick, getting into synch, earning trust.<BR/>From your posts I never would have guessed at antisocial periods.<BR/>Perhaps a career in people skills,(counselling, advocacy etc) were the subjects keep changing and there is always more to learn, would be another middle path?Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02646936995485109020noreply@blogger.com
