as it says, for me and my therapist. I just wanted a place where I could come and dump my thoughts. typing is faster and let’s my brain think as fast as I can type. so it’s like a journal. but, i want it to be public. there’s something about putting my thoughts, feelings, and emotions out there for others to see - even if no one sees them. and to keep it truly like an online journal - i’m anonymous. if i discuss people, they’ll have fake names. you’ll be able to gather some information about me, purely based on context clues, but hopefully, nothing that will lead you to me.
who is the you? the you is you. sure. but also me? anytime I ever tried to write in a journal growing up, i always would start to write it like i was talking to someone else or writing a book about my daily life. so. the you is you. the you is me. the you is the fictitious reader in my head (which is also kind of you).
CLEARLY, i am not trying to be proper with spelling, punctuation, grammar, or writing rules. these posts are purely streams of consciousness.
is this actually for my therapist? well, probably not honestly. if i share this link with my therapist, i’ll likely write for my therapist and not for me. masking even in anonymous writing and that’s not the point. however, my therapist does give me writing props now and again or questions to think about and mull over. it may be easier for me to write those thoughts out here and then transfer to my therapist. that’s why its for me... and my therapist.
i am still working on figuring out what i’ll be writing. will there be a sign off? will there be posts about people in my life? (fake names as previously mentioned). what about the places i live, travel, or deem important? my daily habits, my choice in food, my favorite tv shows and books. i am completely unsure. honestly i just don’t want people i know to find me out (especially if i’m talking about them). currently, i don’t see that happening, but what if i become this huge viral sensation where the WORLD demands to know who i am? then my secrets are out. for good. soooooo, you see the dilemma.
anyway,
i got on here today to finally create this tumblr because i had something that i wanted to write about, but then i figured i should create some kind of introductory post. oofta.
so signing off i suppose? by a letter? by a phrase? by a call to action? unsure. but just because i don’t do it in post one, doesn’t mean i can’t introduce it later. (she tells herself) (also I'm nonbinary) (so i’ll probably use different pronouns throughout)
