Life is crazy and I'm
high on caffeine when I'm writing this. I went to see a psychiatrist
this week. He asked a lot of really stupid questions and I told him
that I don't want to see him again*. Well, that's not the whole
story, but his claims got me thinking.
The reason why I
haven't done much blog writing at all is that I am afraid to say
things. It is scary to write down my thoughts for everyone to read, and I am
worried I might offend people. I am also worried that people might find
things I say inappropriate. But at the same time it's all a bit silly
because I accidentally tend to offend people in real life all the
time. And someone is always going to disagree with me no matter what
I say – there is no way that everyone would like what I say!
When I was in elementary school and we were learning percentages one calculation we were asked was: “How many people in your class like ice cream?” And we were not allowed to ask everyone, we were just meant to assume that everyone likes ice cream. It's really stupid to teach kids stuff like that. DIVERSITY!

P.S. I don't like ice cream. Except Ben &
Jerry's Baked Alaska. Or maybe something else during special moments
when it's a hot summer day.
But maybe I should be
braver about being me! I've accidentally stumbled across blogs and
vlogs that have inspired me about this topic.
Jenna Marbles posted a video about it recently.
It is very different from her other videos, but has a very important message!
And yesterday I
stumbled upon Lauren's blog.
It was inspiring. She
writes in Finnish, but posts a lot of pictures too. She's
provocative, sexual, open and not afraid to show who she is. Don't
worry, there won't be any pornographic pictures of me here, but I
might try and start to write more about my life here. And stop being
so worried about shocking people. I shall post pictures of pants if I
want to! Those who wish to disapprove may disapprove. The
psychiatrist claimed that I should share more about myself with
strangers. I am not sure what kind of mental healthcare tip that was
supposed to be.
But to be honest, after
finally coming out to mum, I should have the courage to write about
my life and thoughts a little bit more openly here too!
Picture of me when I used to be brave. |
Anyway, the point of this post was to let you know that I have decided to try and be a little bit braver, and a little bit more openly me from now on. The scary thing is that all the negativity from people is so much more hurtful when they can see all the real you. I'll let you know how it goes and whether I would recommend it or not.
* I don't have anything
against psychiatrists and I am in favour of mental healthcare, but I
have no idea where this one got his qualifications from. Even my cat
understands people and psychology better than him.
Itseasiassa luin myös tuota Laurenin blogia ja ajattelin aivan samoin, miksen mä uskalla olla oma itseni... ^^ Those who mind, don't matter, and those who matter, don't mind!
