Wow. Talk about interesting. These entries come from a time in my life prior to my sleep therapy. As i was transcribing those pages into WordPress [my publishing software for this journal], i noticed a couple of things.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nThe first thing i noticed is one i&#8217;ve been aware of for some time. Since beginning my sleep therapy, i don&#8217;t write as much as i used to. I still write but i think about writing more than i actually do. Writing used to be this HUGE emotional cleansing process. It still is but the difference is that i don&#8217;t need that process as much as i used to. <\/p>\n<p>The second thing i noticed that i kind of miss but don&#8217;t, is how much i used to LOVE to rail and rant. It wasn&#8217;t that i was that person in person, but it was my alter ego- and i used to let that alter ego out to roam quite a bit. <\/p>\n<p>In a moment of reflection, i can honestly say that i don&#8217;t miss it. I don&#8217;t want to say it was immature because the intent was to have fun, to have a release. Releases are healthy when no one gets hurt. During that time and for quite a while before, it seemed my emotions were always ready to go. I could be reticent in person, and i still am, but when confronted with something emotional now, it&#8217;s easier for me to let it slide off of me. <\/p>\n<p>I do not know if it&#8217;s the changes i&#8217;ve undergone since sleeping with the biPAP or if it&#8217;s that i&#8217;m older. Maybe both. <\/p>\n<p>Oddly, i&#8217;m having one of those times when my thoughts are preoccupied with something that i really want to let out. I keep hoping the person in question will talk to me because i value her thoughts. Silence is a trigger for anxieties that i have a difficult time dealing with. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a lot on my mind these days, namely the way that silence can be the harshest word never spoken.
