I hope I don't offend you when I say this (and I know this is gonna sound really strange), but I found some of your entries to be rather self-depricating and I got a little annoyed by it (mainly because they were so similar to how I wrote a few years ago). I find myself moving as far away from people who remind me of who I was a few years ago (not because I'm running from my past, but rather I just don't want to be reminded of it right now).
I hope that didn't sound too strange to you, but it's the truth.
Well, on some level it sounds strange. By strange, I mean unexpected. I asked you because I was hoping for an honest answer, and I got it. For that I am very grateful. Thank you. That was exactly the kind of information I was looking for.
It's sort of a mixed bag, really. I'm glad it wasn't something like, "You say fuck too much." On the other hand, it concerns me that you found my entries self-deprecating. I've considered that a part of my sense of humor, but your suggestion makes me question whether or not I'm thinly veiling low self-esteem.
Conversely, I'm flattered. Like I said, I really enjoyed your posts. Maybe if I remind you or yourself from several years ago - I'm headed in the right direction!
