I want to say a lot more than I do say. (I say that a lot.)
But, I start by thinking about everything I want to say.
Then I think about who *might* read it. (If I thought about who actually does read it, I'd probably go unfiltered.)
Then I adjust. I self-censor. I condense, reduce. I say less, I hint at less, and I cut entire paragraphs.
And, by the time I'm done, it's a few short paragraphs with dangling thoughts. Things left unsaid.
Maybe it's a toothpaste thing. (Easily said, impossible to unsay.)
