Saturday Slant: I Don’t Like To Talk About

30 April 2005 • 05:00 PT BY Pariah S. Burke

Saturday Slant

week: 17

year: 3

I Don’t Like To Talk About…

This Slant can be glibly answered with a trite response about a phobia or dislike (e.g. “I don’t like to talk about about spiders or politics”), but I entreat you to search your soul. Tell your readers about one topic that makes you uncomfortable to discuss—and why it makes you uncomfortable. Open your ID and tell a fear or pain; open your heart and trust your readers.

If, in blogging your Slant, there isn’t a lump in your throat the whole time, you aren’t being honest enough with yourself.

I don’t like to talk about personal matters that I’m least likely to share with other people.

I will never ask anyone to answer a question I haven’t the temerity to address myself.

Here is my answer to today’s Slant.

I truly would love to answer this challenge of sorts. But I’ve sat and thought and thought, and I can’t find anything withen myself that would qualify. I am very much an open book and would gladly talk about any topic. I suppose I’ll have to think on it more.

This was most definitely the toughest entry in my blog that I’ve ever written. I thank you for the challenge because I’ve found that my readers have been so compassionate as opposed to being critical and judgemental. It took me 3 1/2 hours to write my slant but I got it done and I’m happy that I did! Thanks for the challenge!
