i12bent:

Ok so I’d never post anything like this but this outfit is ballin

It's occurred to me that my writing is very ' dark '. Dark like, you read it and you're like holy fuck i can't comment on this what if i offend her or something? It's confronting writing and i was reflecting on the sort of impact that it has on people last night.

I think it puts people in a position where they see things or feel things about themselves that they don't want to. When i realise that, i feel very, very strange. And guilty as well. You know what's amazing about the internet, is that it's exactly like real life. The good looking girls gets the most likes, the happy motivational posts get the most likes, nice big photos of cool stuff are always popular. In reality, who wants to read stuff that makes one feel uncomfortable, awkward AND SAD? I feel like a lot of my writing makes people feel this way, which is a shame because i feel like the things that i write about are the sorts of things someone would say to you in real life and then you'd say something like," Oh dude i just got to go to the toilet for a second". AND THEN YOU NEVER COME BACK ( but reflect on later with genuine thought ) 

Anyway, i think it's time i started writing about things in a more light hearted vein. Things that aren't so doom and gloom. The thing about certain doom and gloom Think about at night but never reveal to anyone topics, is that they are fucking popular but no one wants to admit that they think about it. It's like those elephant in the room situations. You think it, I think it, but no one is gonna say that they think it. It puts me in a weird position as a writer because it's these topics which are the basis of my work but are hard to get a response from. Make no mistake about it, i will continue to write about these things you think about and i think about and that everyone thinks about. But i guess i know the reality about doing it from now on. Also, thanks to everyone who commented and viewed my vlog before. I'm really happy with the page views ( and the comments! ) but I'm still a bit hesitant about putting up another one. I guess i'll come to a decision in the coming weeks.
