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!
