Putting things in writing makes something "real." And putting yourself and your thoughts out there means you risk judgment. Both are daunting, but can be overcome. Start screaming, hear what the void could say back to you, and then feel comfort in the fact that even if you hear what you don't want to hear, you will still be standing. Somebody said "What other people think of me is none of my business." And that really is the trick to navigating life, I think - especially life online.
