Got too be careful

[nadriel]

My journal entries have been getting to depressed-sounding recently. I did say I wouldn't let it turn into another angsty-mopey journal, so I shall keep a careful eye on what I post. And not post after I've been out drinking.

The stuff you write/say when you've been drinking tends to be more honest; it's things you'd say sober if you had more courage/less conscience. Yay, id!

True, but that doesn't necessarily mean anyone else needs to read about it- it makes me sound like I'm constantly bemoaning my fate and wallowing in misery. Which is far from the truth....

Well, I prefer it to the shameless self-promotion I keep coming across. I know it's good to be your own fan club, but honestly....

I prefer honesty. Unfortunately, in my case, I tend to honestly focus on my faults, and gloss over my strengths.

I haven't got strengths. They're a waste of energy.

I find that hard to believe. Everyone has strengths, whether they know/admit it or not...

AArgghhh! How can you be depressive and so bloody optimistic all at the same time? Doesn't it get confusing? No, forget I asked that; it clearly gets confusing. It depends on what you think of as strengths, I guess. Negative strength tends to be something other people view as destructive, but I'm good at those.

You wouldn't belive the morass of contradictions that make up my personality...

Actually, you just might...
