I agree, it's a somewhat unclear sentence. That would be the amount of that’s enough to be uncomfortable, and appropriate enough to figure out how a person truly is.

Is it the same amount of time I'm using to figure out what you mean by that? I don't have time for this... ;P What the hell is an appropriately uncomfortable amount of time???

Is it the same amount of time I’m using to figure out what you mean by that?

I don’t have time for this…

;P

And I'll add the "suffering to create" idea to the list of things we already need to talk about.

I agree that our blogs become outlets to say what we normally can't (or perhaps don't want to). That's one of the reasons I started this blog in the first place. Your idea that the two sides aren't actually contradictory, but form one complete person, is very good. I think it's changed the way I view myself. Your insightfulness continues to amaze me.

I often find myself adapting to the people I'm with. Parallel blogs is a good idea to have as different outlets. Although even in our personal journaling, there's still only a limited view of ourselves, even when it's only us who reads them. The company part you mention is especially true.

You do seem "heavy" here but so much "lighter" when I talk to you. I honestly look forward to meeting you in person. I'm so curious to see what you're really like. I would also like to talk about this idea of having to suffer to create. Funny that you mention what I said to you cause I was going to comment repeating myself.

I like to think that like me, our blogs are the outlets to the parts of ourselves that we can't really reveal in real life. It's not that there are two sides of yourself, it's just that what makes you tick in the real world, your motives and motivation is more revealed here. If that's true, then I understand it well, I'm not sure why no one else understands it that way.

yes, I think so. then all the patterns and decisions about Who A Person Is and all the performative caricaturing of self falls apart with contradictory info.
