Alright. I'm going to put this behind a cut for the benefit of all my other LJ Friends. But I really want all of the Barat people to read it. In fact, I think it would be better for everyone if they did, that way there's no misunderstandings. And no problems in the future.
First and foremost, I'm not posting this to piss a bunch of people off. That's not the purpose of me posting anything. However, I feel like I've been backed into a corner, and I hope after this you can understand why and respect that.
My livejournal is my venting place. It is where I post my thoughts, feelings, and ideas. I do this here because (before) I could do it annonymously. I have lots of LJ friends that I've never met and probably will never meet. That only serves to boost my confidence. When I post something on LJ I know that people aren't going to freak out at me for saying something they don't like. LJ has been very theraputic in that sense because in real life I am bound by descrepencies, shyness, and the tendency to be a pushover. LJ was my last place of freedom. On here I can be the person I am and want to be without worrying what people with think of me. I can post about the people in my life without worrying about whether they will find out what I think of them or how I feel about them or their goings-on at that moment. This is one reason I choose not to have my journal friend's only. I think it defeats the purpose, at least for me. That's not to say that I don't occaisionally lock a post for whatever reason. But for the most part, I believe in, at least here, just letting it all hang out. And there is nothing wrong with that.
I think that I should have the right to speak freely. Granted, I don't feel like I can outside of this screen and this keyboard. That's why LJ is truly important to me. It is the one place in the world where I can be myself without being attacked by people who do not understand me and do not take in everything I have to offer. And sure enough, I can see it starting to happen.
The fact that I like most of you individually and consider a lot of you friends doesn't mean that there aren't times where I can't stand to be around you or I am upset with you. I am a person with feelings, and I reserve the right to be irrational and sporadic in my thoughts and feelings just like anyone else. And this is where the problem comes in.
When I found out a bunch of Barat people were being converted to LJ, though for a good reason, I could forsee this happening. I once again, in the only place I am comfortable to do so, feel as if I cannot be myself or speak my mind. That is incredibly unfair to and difficult for me. Therefore, I have made the decision to speak my mind, regardless of whether or not the people I am speaking of are reading this. My LJ will be as it always has been - my sounding board. I will post my thoughts and feelings on everything, as I have always done. I think I deserve this.
If you are going to be reading my journal, and friend it and everything, you need to understand this. You need to know that here I am myself. These are my private and personal thoughts that I have posted publicly for complete and total strangers to gawk at. When I created my livejournal, that was the purpose and up until the last couple weeks, always has been. And so now I will again go back to that. Here's where you come in. If there is something that you read or see that you do not like - good for you. Understand that it is how I am feeling, and respect that. Do not comment on things you find offensive because you probably don't entirely understand it. And even if you do, they are my thoughts and feelings and I can think and feel what I want, offensive or not.
Please keep this in mind when you are reading this journal. I really think that if you have taken offense to this you should unfriend me now. And keep it in mind for future reference. Thank you.
