A Moment in Time...

It has been a while since I updated this blog. This is no accident and at very recently I did consider taking it down completely.

The reason for this questioning of myself is that very recently I was the subject of a prank which was not malicious necessarily, but was definitely in bad taste. It was about this blog.  I wouldn't normally mention it but for the fact that, as a result I have not felt comfortable updating in a while.

Then I stopped and realised that I was not writing it for the individuals that carried out the prank...in fact I could not care less what they think or how they perceive me. I know who they are and it doesn't surprise me in the least that they chose to behave like children. I write this for the friends I adore back home (and some over here in NY) as if I was talking to them directly and it only matters to me what they think.

If someone from the outside reads it then welcome, I hope you enjoy it, but that is not the intended audience and consequently I won't apologise for anything I write.

What annoys me is that, for a moment, I forgot myself. I forgot that I am completely comfortable with who I am. I may not have cured cancer, written a novel or even understand maths fully but that does not mean that I'm not proud of who I am, what I do and the people I get to call my friends and family.

Nobody has a right to judge you unless they know you and nobody knows you unless you give them that opportunity. This is a lesson in judging who's opinion matters because most of the time the person attacking you is not the person that matters.

In summary, I have remembered myself so expect many more posts...
