A lot of people here at Lit PM me, asking if there's anything to me besides fluff. You people as me if I'm just stupid, and so I post what I know.
I'd like to tell you why I post fluff.
A while ago, when I first came to Lit, I posted deep things that meant something to me. I bared my soul, and sometimes, it was met with people who'd experienced similar crap, and sometimes, a good debate was started. The last time I bared my soul here, everyone went on all-out attack because 'no one lives a life that dramatic', and I suppose some of you thought I was lying.
When debates about religion or politics arise, I tend to read and not respond, though I have much to say, because I'm tired of being attacked for my opinion (you people don't see my PM box).
So. I'm a bright woman. I am in third year university, studying what I love. I think, I contemplate, I meditate. I feel things, and I have well-formed opinions about a lot of things. But every time I open up enough to share one of those opinions, someone here decides that I've overstepped my 'fluff-only' boundary, and that they must shut me up.
So I stick to fluff. I stick to simple subjects, that make me happy.
Lit is also soemthing of an escape for me. I have a lot going on in my life that I'd love to scream out at the top of my lungs, but I don't... because apparently that's just not kosher, either. So I bury my anger and my resentment towards those people in my life who cause it, and I post fluff and airheaded topics here.
So. Like I said, I have thoughts, I live a life, and I am a thinking, functioning woman, a strong woman. But I've chosen fluff, which gets me less personal attacks than the deeper thoughts I have, which cause hate-mail to be sent.
