what if your mind is like a subway station? the thoughts you held private and important, the memories you never shared with anyone, proximate fears and distant dreams, hope and the lack of it, ideals and the reality of those ideals, expectations, desires - all of these intensely personal things that you are jealously protective of - what if they were someplace sharing space with anything at all, and were not entirely yours?

have you ever been afraid to even think something and if you finally let yourself think that, would you still feel secure knowing that you might just have shared that thought with someone?

how important is privacy?

no, i am not paranoid and i am not insane. but this is something that can creep under your skin, stay uncomfortably close to your spine and haunt you.

1. Was removing the comment section on the previous post accidental or intentional, You r not answerable to me , but still.But the change in the font colour was badly needed.

2 Nothing that you feel wasn't felt before.

3. Why mix insecurity with privacy?

4 . Privacy from whom?

Take it easy. People have existed before you with bigger fears. More will , after you.

5.Imagery as a representation and its exploitation seems to be ur new interest.

1 - god knows how the comment section got removed in the previous post.. technology and those responsible for it, i tell you.. will try and figure out how to get the comments section back in

2. i know. but usually the response to "someones reading my thoughts" is "go sleep. and.. geez!!"

3. insecurity and privacy. well..

4. more like a space your own. its something of an ongoing issue, as you can see from the earlier posts. not too many people need as much of and are as protective of it as i am.. :)

will take it easy. i get to being a drama queen sometimes huh

5. yea. just seems like the logical next step, in a way..
