no guilt for what my fingers have to say…

thought thursday…

I’ve been known to be a shy person for quite some time now. But with the help of text messaging I am able to say exactly how I feel. Am I hiding behind my full qwerty keypad? You could say that.

I usually don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings, get involved in a verbal confrontation nor do I want to belittle some of the ignorance that comes across my screen. But text messaging allows me to say something… backspace because it’s too harsh (while feeling the rush of having put someone in their place), and rethink my words before I have said anything that I will regret with emphasis on trying to remain partly “good girlish” at all times.

Copout I know. However more recently I have been able to come out of my shell a little more in person thanks to this technology. I mentally think I am texting (because I do it more than I talk) and I let the semi edited versions roll. Don’t get it wrong, I still don’t wish to hurt anyone’s feelings or be too mean but I do love this new power that everyone else in the world has been experiencing for decades.

Self expression is amazing. Being able to express yourself is fabulous. I am processing a healthy balance of when and when not to let my voice is heard. Some call it choosing your battles I call it choosing a worthy candidate…
