I've been trying to decide whether to make a suggestion, in connection with an issue that is central to my life experience, got as far as starting to write a blog post about what I had in mind, and then chickened out. All the ways it could have gone wrong recited themselves in my head, and it was just too scary. Even the knowledge that I've already lost pretty much everything I could have lost wasn't enough to overcome the instinct to hide. Stay safe in the dark closet. Safe, but utterly isolated. A minority of one, to steal another Orwellism.
Love & best wishes to all

Sometimes reservation is the best choice.
ReplyDeleteHello Brian
ReplyDeleteIt depends on your definition of 'best', really. The safe option that maintains the status quo, or a venture with greater risk, but potentially greater rewards. In this case, I've opted for the former - at the moment. I'm still thinking about the 'cost/benefit analysis', though.
Love & best wishes

Hello Mark & Jay
ReplyDeleteThank you both for your support. I doubt that what I was thinking of would have worked, anyway, not least because my blog isn't that widely read. And, perhaps more to the point in terms of my 'cowardice', I don't have much ambition to set myself up as a target for trolls and haters, or those who might want to 'out' me. I'll have to have a rethink, I guess.
Love & best wishes
