Honesty and openness

In the last week, there have been 2 posts I wrote and then erased because I was afraid of hurting someone's feelings. I'm wondering if I should do that or not. In the past I have erased blog posts, but only because I didn't feel like they were true after I wrote them. One in particular that I wrote was erased because I did it to be mean and I said some really mean things that I didn't mean. The most recent ones that I wrote, I don't think I didn't mean them. In fact, I think I really meant them. So I've come to this conclusion. If you are reading this for whatever strange reason, then you are reading a snapshot of my brain. I don't owe you an apology for feeling how I feel and I certainly don't owe anyone any censorship. This page exists so that I have somewhere I can write out my thoughts and find peace with myself. I try hard to always be a good person in everything I do, but I've recently found out that there's only so far I can be pushed before my emotions finally get the better of me. So to whoever you are that wrote that comment on my last blog that was erased telling me to be a man, I say this: a man doesn't hide from his feelings, nor does he hide them so that others can feel good about themselves. Not the important ones, anyway.

a man may not hide from his feelings but a man is at least honest and accepts responsibility. you broke up with her than wah wah because she moved on. how is that being a man? and, if you are so sure that being a man doesn't hide his feelings, why did you pull your post? you're double-speaking. you're not the most humble human being, are you?

Jaime, who on earth are you and why do you even care? I pulled that last one because I thought you were someone else and I did it out of respect to you. My bad. Don't worry though, won't happen again.
