Hours, consumed by stress
Causing undue duress
It’s the hand we’re dealt
Not ideal, just ostensibly felt.
Look into the mirror… you will survive.
This rollercoaster makes you feel alive.
Steeping down you go… keep plugging away.
Until comes that long-awaited brighter day.
It’s hard to imagine… hard to imagine.
Things were different then, all is different now
I’ll try to explain… somehow.

Thinking back to a discussion I had with Moiron, I came to the realization that my fastidiousness regarding moderating my writing was a major reason behind my infrequent posts. I often surmise a string of thoughts that I *consider* posting about, but never get around to publishing for one of two reasons. First, I feel as though I don’t have the time to diligently organize and explicate my thoughts. Second, even if I feel like I have the time, I feel burdened by the repetitive cycles I must spend on editing, re-editing, and analyzing my words.
I favor qualitative posts over quantity, a major reason behind the concerns above-mentioned. However, I’ve come to realize that I’m not getting much bang for the buck out of my blog, and I’m not using it as the type of online memorandum that I partially meant for it to be. To actively address these concerns, I’m creating a new category called “processed.” If I tag a post under the processed category, the nomination entails the fact that I’ve conducted due diligence in re-organizing the post to reflect what my selective mind wants to convey. If the tag isn’t present, basically, it’s verbal diarrhea. This would be useful, I would think, in case one is interested in reading only the properly digested material, as opposed to not. For me, it would allow for an avenue to express varying thoughts, as well as one through which to preserve my self-important identity as a literary aficionado.
