I'm proud of that post I made the other day because it was a rare post that was straight from the heart. I didn't have some neutrality chaser before and after, and I didn't care about being right or perfect. I didn't filter myself at all. I wasn't afraid of doing it.

I want to do more of that. I think maybe I can have a healthy relationship with this account if I do that. The words I'd speak could scare away the people who have ruined this place for me.

It's not the meta's truth that has hold of my head. It's not the toxic consciousness of the network's truth. It's not some manipulator's orbiters' truth. It's mine. And mine alone. They can't take that away from me anymore. They don't have anything to hold over me. Even if they did, I can just walk away and find something new.

My truth comes from my heart. For a long time it came from my brain, but I was merely programmed that way. That was a defense mechanism to keep me safe from the pain it experienced. The heart is hardware, but the brain is software, so the latter can be easily manipulated.

If people want to reach my truth, they need to go through my heart first.

I'm already posting for myself. I've been posting privately to a small, mostly quiet audience for a while now. I'd just need to scale what I've been doing well.

I'll think about it, but it would imply some major changes.
