Remember

Remember those days?

Remember when you had something to say? When your voice was loud, and  out, and proud? Remember when you wanted to change the world... one blogpost at a time. Remember when authenticity inspired you? When truth motivated you? When the desire to present humanity in what others saw as different kept you awake with excitement all night?

Remember?

And then the unthinkable happened.

They got to you. Those who wanted to quench your passion. They quietened you. They made you just like the god they believe in - silent.

Then why did you wake up angry this morning? Why did you wake up and feel sad that you have been silent? Why did you feel the cathartic need to express this in a post?

Perhaps the times are changing. Perhaps it's time to redefine.

Writing is my attempt to find my voice.

My voice wishes to be heard again.

oh dear! when did you crawl in my head, and read my thoughts?

(and, more disconcertingly - what other thoughts did you read while you were there??)

i feel the same. for a while i had no real desire to blog, i got a little tired of my own voice. but lately...

i look forward to meeting you here again. i missed you!
