It should be bare...

Letting those early posts marinate these past couple of days, I've realized that this process really is meant to be a soul-baring one. I heard someone say that the best writing is the kind that exposes the reader to the raw emotion of the author, be that to the reader's benefit or abhorrence. Oh well, this may be the nature of things for this blog. I'm hesitant to strip away all my social protective gear, but in the coming weeks I'll attempt to be less self-conscious, at least in this realm.
