i don't mind my work being criticized, in fact i think i encourage it... so when i write about something that happened to me, how do i manage to offend other people???? isn't that somewhat selfish of them? i mean, i feel what i feel and it's personal, that's my purpose for writing; expression. all i want is to represent my emotions in words. if i could paint i would try to express my emotions with colors, and possibly still be able to offend others. but i still don't understand how u offend someone when you write about something which you personally feel? or when you write about something involving other people and never blame them or even mention their names and they are offended by it.

hmm, it makes me wonder if people care what anybody has to say besides the voices in their own minds...
