I do not edit these at all. I just type out what I wrote down, which also wasnt edited. This blog is not me showing you (who are you, anyway?) stuff I consider perfectly formed or whatever, its just raw material. I tend to use these later on to make more fully formed things (songs, for example), but this is me sharing my first impression, sketches, and feelings with anyone and everyone.

What makes one kind of human expression "better" than another? One person says something, people listen. Someone else says something else, and no one notices. What affects this? If I understood what affected it, would I change to get more attenion? more money? more meaning? Do people do that? When people act natural, they get different results... what does that do to you? One person acting naturally gets a positive reaction, one person acting naturally gets a negative one. So, some people might get the idea that the more positive feedback you get from people, the more right you are. And if you get negative feedback after doing what feels natural, then you are wrong. There is something about the natural, honest you that shouldnt be. This all carries a big assumption, and that assumption is that you are measured by other people's judgement of you. Is that good for you? I guess its good for you if they like you, and if they dont like you, then you either be what they want, or learn to live without them.
