I use LJ as a place to think out loud. Sometimes I need to feel heard, sometimes it's more about proving to myself I'm not ashamed of who I am, what I think about, and how screwed up I've been. And the only place I can do that is in front of people I trust. I'm not even arsed if people answer, sometimes I prefer it if they don't.

What got picked back up as a medical log for my own records, has turned around and become a tool for the purpose of starting to accept myself.

I like reading entries from friends who share the same philosophy, it reassures me I'm 'normal', I guess.

I like yours as you do good rants :-) x
