I’m Sorry

[imood mood at time of entry: ashamed]

First off, I’m sorry. Let me repeat that, I am so, so, so, so, sooo sorry. I sincerely wanted to apologize first, to my readers who used to, and hopefully will come by here. I never should have went off the way I did. Sure I was upset, but I definitely could have made the last entry a Private one. I was so upset about the review, and the PMSing that I just did what came naturally to me, blowing off steam in my journal. It’s what I do. I didn’t even think about my Notify List at the time. I think my mind was just focused on one thing at the time, expressing myself.

Secondly, I want to apologize to the people who call their writing space(s) a “diary”. I just said what I said because I’ve always had a personal problem with people calling my offline, and online space, a diary. I grew up with two brothers, and learned to be tough and untouchable from a young age. I just had a habit of writing down my feelings and thoughts. The stereotype of a “girly” girl writing in her pink diary has stuck with me all these years; so, I have come to loathe that word.

The third thing that I need to address, is the fact that I don’t take criticism well. I really should learn to be less sensitive. I can’t go around getting mad everytime someone tells me something I don’t like. I don’t do it at work, and I shouldn’t do it in my personal life. It’s a nasty behavior, and extremely unprofessional. If I ever choose to try and get my work published some day, I need to be ready for the rejection letters, because I will get them, lots of them.

Ok, now for the comments. I have not read a single comment that anyone has left me yet. I don’t know when I will get to that as I am currently dying of embarassment. I think I will get to it though, because if I was bold enough to say the things I did, then I should bold enough to take whatever reaction and consequences that came as a result.

I’ll try and update next week sometime, since, the library will be closed this weekend for 4th of July. Happy Independence Day everyone!!!

Sincerely yours,

Danielle
