The Problem With Writing

Most of the things that I feel I need to write about, also happen to be the things preventing me from writing about them. I don't mean to be overly cryptic, but I've spent a good deal of time trying to figure out how to write about them without writing about them, and that was the most straightforward way of putting it that I could come up with.

For example. Let's say I have a job with a boss about whom I have serious complaints (not the real case, just an example). It also happens, that this boss is the person to whom all complaints go.

The problem is self-incrimination. One of the reasons to write is to be able to put your thoughts outside of yourself for a moment in order to better understand them. Its like having an unshelled peanut (a peanut in its shell) in your mouth. You have a general idea of what the peanut itself is like, but you can't quite access it. So you spit out the whole thing, crack it open, and then eat the peanut.

Writing is pretty much exarctly the same thing.

The thing is, that in that process of spitting out the unshelled peanut, anyone can look in your mouth and see the disorganised and unflattering peanut shell remnants.

Hmmm, I'm not sure if that made any sense.
