This is Scary.
The domain for this site is my name. So anything I post is linked to my identity. That is terrifying. I am a private person, but have come to see that as debilitating. There has been an unnecessary fear of sharing too much information. Now is the perfect time to let that go. I don't want to hide myself, because I shouldn't have to.
I think growing up I learned that I needed to hide my identity because there were parts of myself that were the minority of the group. I felt like those parts of myself were less-than, and I needed to hide them because of that.
But now I'm relearning how to express all those parts of myself. Screw the idea that some identities are better than others.
So whatever I share on here, I have no right to feel that I need to hide it.
