Introducing the WRYTA'SBLOK Project:
"In the beginning...."
What you've stumbled across here....
is an exploration of thought, emotion, and the difficulty of expression. A difficulty arising not necessarily from a lack of words, but from our tendency towards self-censorship, whatever the reason thereof (shyness, machismo, ....shame).
ln most things, I find that the speed with which one expresses their feelings can be, at once, disinhibiting and anxiety-inducing.
Disinhibiting because feelings left too long unexpressed can morph, and can easily lose the intensity, vulnerability, and authentically raw honesty which make any form of expression worth the effort.
However, the danger inherent in "feelocity" is that "expressing oneself at the speed of emotion" leaves them exposed to all the dangers of radically transparent speech (criticism, judgment, the possibility of hurting other people's feelings, ....).
It's challenging to find the correct balance between true transparency and our need to avoid its pitfalls.
As I attempt this tightrope, I can only count on your kindness to bear with me if at some point you notice me teetering, as I certainly will, to one extreme or the other.
And, lest I forget, Shhhhhhhhhhh! Please let this be our little secret.
