On: not really being profound....

Do you ever get all emotional, sit down to write and get it all out, and all the sudden you feel inspired?  You feel like you are making some break through.  What you are saying and feeling will not only change your life but others that read the outpouring from your heart.  The words you are typing are-dare I say-profound?! People will read your words and feel like they can overcome all the hardships in their lives because they know you too have been through them and you made it out okay....?  Have you typed with the tears flowing and the only thing that makes you feel better is the fact that some random person may stumble across your blog and read your sorrows on their computer screen and change their life for the better because of your strength through adversity...?

...And then you realize the very thing you typed was really just murmuring, whining, babble, that you really can't post any way because the person you are writing about just may read what you wrote and realize it is about them and how you had to deal with their selfishness and/or insensitivity...and you don't want to be insensitive back!  Then you realize nothing you wrote was even coherent and you can almost hear your self being all pitiful while you typed it and you roll your eyes...at yourself...and hit the backspace button over and over and over...And while you do that a scene from one of your favorite movies (You've Got Mail...in case you forgot that was one of your favorite movie) comes flashing into your mind and you start hitting backspace with both your pointer fingers and roll your eyes some more (if you don't know what scene I am talking about you should watch it again).  Has that ever happened to you?  You thought you were being profound but really you were just being dumb?

You haven't had that happen?  No, me neither.
