Guarded.

26/06/2008

This is an alternate post to the Dark Matter picture:

It was originally going to be called Guarded, before I remembered my favorite Andrew Bird song and gasped aloud at its relevance.  If you haven’t watched the video, you should.

But Guarded still works.  I am a very guarded person.  I let people see the shadow, but not the self that makes the shadow.  What kind of consequences does that have?  What connections get lost, because I am constantly working to hide anything remotely emotional, vulnerable, negative?

Even this post feels like it comes from my head, not from between my sides.  Eeek.  I’m trying.

    Sometimes, coming from the sides isn’t any better. You dump emotions and bleed negativity, and then the head screams at your middles, “Why did you do that???”.

    Maybe trying for balance is the way to go.

    For me, it was always the same feeling that you feel when you leap off the high dive. You just don’t think about it. Dunno.
