TheBanyanTree: Just thinking

[Monique Colver]

I would have, I'm sure. I'd like to say a lot of things that I feel like I
can't, because people would take it the wrong way. Not that they would say
anything, but it's there, the expectation that I should write something not
so, I dunno, "negative," or something. Anyway, for a long time I've been
posting and that's replaced actually talking TO people, because there's no
conversation going on, there's no give and take. It's just me spouting off.
So I'm pulling back.

And I'm replacing my expectations with something healthier. Maybe I'll take
up knitting.
