I lost myself                                                                                                                so you would find me.

I ran away                                                                                                                  so you would come looking.

For instance, if I had an English teacher who was the bomb.com, then yes, it could be an awesome experience.  However, there was a year with a hostile and quite deliberately seeming intimidating teacher of English.  So, what I am trying to get at is what determines what gets said?  There are probably things that I would rather not have put out in public.  Who knows how someone, who may have some power or ability to do some harm, direct or indirect, to us, may use or interpret what we have to say?  Is there always room for dialogue?  I once thought that that was the case.  

But when experiences came about that were completely unprecedented, and people’s advice was not always relevant, dialogue and discussion over ideas became much more difficult to achieve.  So, is Tumblr able to be a medium where some sort of dialogue or exchange of ideas can take place to be able to go over those things that seem to bubble up and that one has to “get out there” lest perhaps becoming hardened, or to continue to have to keep something that continues to cause unrest or anxiety or discord?  

Why does it seem that humans are so social, that there seems to be this need to reach out and to connect, to be understood, to have our thoughts, that can be quite emotional, be out there and shared?  I am sure that there are evolutionary matters with this, but as society changes so abruptly at times, extreme circumstances seem to bring about gaps in knowledge and understanding about what is going on and how to respond.
