    I am a slow learner... slower than most...

    It has been at my attention that I haven't been the most welcome of guests here.

    It has been pointed out to me that I am pompous.
    For this I appologize. I give you not so much an excuse, but rather a reason for my actions. I put it in poetry form so it's not too "wordy" and I'm not simply doing an emotional dump.

    This is my past...

    I fear pain, therefore I fear lonlieness.
    I fear lonliness, therefore I fear rejection.
    I fear rejection, therefore I fear my flaws.
    I fear my flaws, therefore I fear mistakes.
    I fear my mistakes, therefore i fear imperfection.
    I fear imperfection, therefore I fear being wrong.

    I am in pain, for I am lonely.
    I am lonely, for I have been rejected.
    I am rejected for my flaws.
    I am flawed because I make mistakes.
    I make mistakes therefore I am imperfect.
    I am imperfect because I am wrong.

    I am rejected because I must be right.
    I must be right because I am rejected.

    I want to end with this, Any mean if even cruel comments I have made, I made because I expect others are looking for the same answers that I am "Is it good enough? Do others Truely enjoy it? What would make it good enough? Will it be successful? and above all, What are peoples honest thoughts?!"

    I appologize for being so overwhelmingly critical.

    Truth is an absolute.

    That was beautiful, simply beautiful. I have no angst towards you, and I don't think you're pompous.
    You're no more critical than anyone else, we're all the same, deep down (some deeper than others).
    All I need to do now is write that as a poem.
    It does not matter if you fall down as long as you pick up something from the floor while you get up.

    If you're looking for answers, you might want to stop with the overly-poetic, stating-the-obvious stuff like that thing above. You'll only confuse yourself if you try to simultaneously ponder the mysteries of the universe/soul and articulate your findings. More likely you'll confuse someone else with arrangements of words that might seem right at the time, but remember that everybody else is not you - we haven't been through the same thought processes you have to arrive at a conclusion, therefore some information you may have taken for granted when writing might have been left out of the final product. Also try to remember that not everything is linear. Not everything simply goes from one thing to the next, in fact its all a big mess to be honest. - Hey, I'm not bitching here, just hoping to add some constructive criticism...

    One final thought kids, I don't think we are all the same deep down. I think we're horribly, horribly different. And just the fact that I think that and Mono doesn't proves this, doesn't it?
