I'll lend you my shoulders

I was sitting at work thinking today...

There are so many things that we worry about, we stress about, we hold in.
Have you ever (I'm sure most of you have) wanted to say something to someone but you know you can't so you write it all out, rip it up and throw it away?
Well, I wanted to create a place where we could all do that. Where we could vent and unload all the things that we wish we could share with someone but we don't because we don't want to burden them either. I really do believe that if we hold things in eventually it will be manifest itself physically. I think that it is healthy to have an outlet.

So go ahead and vent here, take the load off your shoulders and put it on mine. I am lending you my shoulders. Write it out (anonymously) and pretend like you're burning it. Forget about it and live your life. Yes, people will be able to read what you wrote, so in a sense it will feel like you actually did tell someone. I think sometimes all we want is for someone else to know what we're going through.

So, please, since other people will be able to see what you are feeling, try to keep it clean. Be respectful of other people and allow everyone to take advantage of what this is here for. If we start being vulgar or offensive then I am sure this will no longer be able to exist and everyone will suffer for it. Here's to trusting that you will allow this to be successful and that we will be able to let people unload and feel better...

I haven't quite figured out exactly how this will work, but in the meantime you can probably comment on my posts and your comments will be available for everyone to read. I will read your comments and maybe I'll take some of them and turn them into actual posts. That way they can be on the main page.

Feel free to write nice and positive things too. If you are so excited because something fantastic has happened, put it out into the universe and who knows maybe it'll help someone else to read what you wrote.

So, here we go! Get venting =)

Your confidant,
Angel
