Thank you, dear Carl, for reading (just seeing this). Kierkegaard is well worth knowing - I wish you many happy discoveries ahead =)

Y'know, for the longest time, I was wary of using "I" (as Wilde told Gide, in art there is no first person). But, I'm getting slightly better at it - confessing in code, here and there, and offering my personal experiences where I think they might be useful.

Will muse upon your challenge/dare and see what (if anything) I might come up with. Having a bulging inner life, sometimes the outer one is not as exciting or eventful. Though that, of course, might be more shyness or discretion or hiding...

I tend to lay my heart bare, helplessly, in my poetry and my aphorisms are often intimate, even if they pose as abstract, general truths.
