Daily Doses: On a Side Note

Unfortunately, I have received the most horrendous urge to divert from finishing "Tales of the Black Swan" to express my life as is. Non metaphorically. For just a few posts at least... I feel as though I need to be real, if only for a moment. I was once afraid to share with myself, let alone the world, what I really am. I never confronted myself directly; explaining myself, my thoughts and emotions, without placing a wonderfully designed barrier called metaphor to do it for me. I no longer care what the unrelated humans in this world think of me. I no longer live by the metal rules of society. I don't play the social games of life. This is my life story, on a side note.
