What it Means to Dive Right in

What does it mean to dive right in? That's actually a question for another time. Let's pick another topic. You know I do this every time. I pick a topic and a title and then I just start the word vomit. It's not vomit though. It's brain droppings. I guess what I'm saying is I just shouldn't say anything. That's how you guys think right?
Well how many among you also think it's ok to share your opinion? How many think it's ok to talk about virtue, faith, and politics? I knew from the beginning it would put me in crosshairs. But, I also knew I didn't care if it meant I could put something I believed in and was proud of out into the world. I knew if it meant I'd be called a virtue signaler or a crackpot I would still be proud of what I was saying. I knew if I put my true self out there I would meet someone that liked who I really was. But not anytime too soon I hope. I've got plans to lay. Lots and lots of plans. And I've given myself a really long time to do it. That's how I know I won't give up hope.
I've given myself an impossible task and there's no point in asking why. One day someone else will take the mantle. And that'll be my time to shine. It'll be a bittersweet yet victorious day. I'll pass on my good fortune and I'll step out of the way. I'll create another timeline. One where I'm the observer. I'll oversee all the day to day action. And I won't look away.
It's a terrible time to be a writer. Sure writing books is great if you have a name. But what if you don't? How do you get in? Is there some shadow group I need to appease? Maybe pay some dues to somebody? See, I've got an itch in my brain and it's not going away. And to scratch it I've got to really flex my cerebral cortex. I have to stand in front of you. And ask if you have anything to say or I can do. So guess what? I'll be seeing you real soon. Because I think your opinions matter too.
And that's all for today.
With Love for everybody,
The Torchbearer
