rights

i have the right to remain silent
anything i say or write can and probably will be used against me in the real world
the world doesn't need me to tell it anything new
in fact the world would probably appreciate me much more if i just shut up
on the other hand... when have i ever shut up
so
i very much do have the right to remain silent
but i don't have to exercise that right if i don't want to

tell me here what you think

    My Blue.
    Whether or not you remain silent
    is a function of how much turmoil you are in.
    I don't believe writing is something you WANT to do anymore
    so much as something you NEED to do periodically to vent the built-up steam.
    You have the right to remain silent.
    Absolutely.
    But I don't believe you will.
    You internalize so much.
    Chew on it.
    Turn it over and look at it from different angles.
    That the need to discuss it just bleeds out. And, when you don't have someone to talk to about it...
    it comes out in the written word.
    So. Talk. Write. Do what you need to do.
    I'm here to listen.
    To read.
    and to continue to love you.
