Justification

I feel as though there is a point in everyone's life where they feel like they have to justify something to someone else. It may happen to you everyday, or once a week or perhaps it rarely happens. I don't feel the need to always justify my feelings, but if you need to know an explanation behind it - I'll tell you. Honestly.

When it comes to my writing (and I'm addressing all public forums) I can apologize for realizing something I have said was wrong at the time. But it was honest, and honesty is not something I feel people should have to apologize for. I'm not saying that people are saying my writing is shit or that I am blunt or ask for forgiveness for what I have written, but if that time ever comes that someone doesn't like what I have written for my school newspaper, I'll gladly explain my opinion and point of view. After all, writing is about free speech and points of view. It's not necessarily meant to argue semantics or true definitions or common sense. It is there as a public forum to open up people and welcome them into the thoughts of yours, or mine or anyone else that may take to a keyboard or pad and pen.

I am happy of what I have written. Whether it be my blog, twitter, facebook notes, university paper or high school newspaper. Because at some point in time, that is how I felt, honestly and whole heartedly. And truthfully, not enough people speak from their heart these days. That's why it's so hard to trust. But I entrust in you, my readers, to not judge me for a random thought or animosity towards something or someone at a point in time. I rather you appreciate and question. Thanks.
