Journal Boldly

in NaJoPoMo23 days ago

To journal my deepest thoughts, goals, dreams, and pour all of me into a page seems like it would be a good idea. Yet, there is also the part of me that is hesitant to do so. I've lived long enough to see things that were nothing anyone would bat an eye at change to being highly controversial.

Times change.

I've seen peoples words and actions from the past which were no big deal come back to haunt them. Why? Because...

Times change.

I am not a controversial person by nature. Not my vibe. Yet, what could be a nothing burger today could be misconstrued in the future into something it was not ever meant to be. Not in the moment. Not now. Not ever. Yet...

Times change.

So how do you handle the hyper-sensitive times we live in? You opt out or avoid. I'll recognize that this has an air of self-preservation with a hint of cowardice. The people who change the world do not back away. They charge boldly forth. Damn the consequences.
