Long ago I decided I would always back myself up, whatever I wrote, I would make sure it was what I wanted to say at the time and was said the best I could say it. I also have learned that my experiences are in the past and others knowing them, in detail, does not mean they know or control me in any way; I am not my experiences, they are just things I did or had happen to me in the past, past ways of thinking or being and they have helped me grow into who I am now but are not Me, now.

So, telling the world I use to go to the bathroom in my pants and my second grade teacher "sniffed" me out one day and it was horribly embarrassing (one of those "please floor, open up and swallow me" days) but it is not now and I feel compassion for that younger self and anyone who knew me then (or now), reading about that experience, will also feel compassion for me as I was then or not "get" me now so not be important to me now.
