*anonymous*

It's ironic how most of the time, one can only truly be oneself when hidden behind the mask of anonymity. And it's ironic how most of the time, I'd rather reveal my innermost thoughts to complete strangers rather than my dearest friends.

But isn't that how it is? At times, it's best to protect the ones we love from who we really are... what we really think...

I've been feeling rather restricted about the things I really wanted to write about in my other blog. (Note: I keep a lot of moderately functional and non-functional blogs.)

Of course, there are things I'd love to share with my friends... my recent medschool escapades, my latest blooper, bits and pieces of wisdom gathered here and there, etc etc. But there are things I'd rather not let them know and managing who gets to read what can be quite a hassle.

So this is what this blog is for. It's for the things I need to get out of my system but would rather not let my friends know.

In a way, it seems sad that I can only show my true self to strangers who offer no judgment... no condemnation... and who'd forget about me the next minute (that is, granting that somebody actually stumbles into this blog...) rather than the ones who truly care.

But then, that's the way it is... At least for now...
