Stardate: 9.08.25 — Two weeks ago, I left AZ. My plan: to enjoy some time visiting my mom in Florida for her birthday. On my way out of town, I deleted my Twitter account. It’s been a tough year, and a horrible summer. Turning off social media and getting away seemed like a good idea. And for the last couple of weeks, it was.
But now I’m back, and I’m struggling with this – should I remain silent, or spill the tea? I can see both sides of the argument.
For one thing, I get TONS of online hate from a certain group. When I don’t talk, they have less to say. Don’t feed the trolls. Life is better.
On the other hand, I have a lot of things to say, and – admit it – at least some of it is interesting. In the back of my mind, I want to believe the law and the truth still matters to SOME folks, even if it’s only a small percentage of you. Since people are going to talk anyway, wouldn’t it be better to include MY version? (YES – I know the cult hates my version, but that’s only an additional reason to share it).
What to do?
For now, let’s just say this — I’m mulling it over. I predict some interesting stuff will happen this week. Lies will be exposed. Accusations will be made. Wrongs will begin to be righted. Justice will be sought.
So do I talk about all this, or do I shut up? Maybe next week, the right choice will become clear(er).
Having said that, the bottom line is I still feel the same way — I’d like everyone to just move on. Seriously. But some wishes don’t come true, and some fights are unavoidable. The only question is whether you shut your mouth and let the trolls win, or whether you attempt to cap a firehose of lies with your own truth.
