I have decided to make this publication a little more personal. To share more. I heard somewhere that compulsive over sharing is a sign of manic depression [bipolar disorder]. I suppose that i am not disordered in this way.
I have lived most of my life keeping my life private. mostly because my mother in her infinite wisdom, figured that my grandmother [dad's mom] had some king of vendata against her. and that she (grandma) would try to affect us (dads kids) in order to affect her (mama). A little crazy? Well not really.
In our culture, these things are acceptable. The people of the Caribbean know full well that in small communities jealousy, and hate can be part of our lives. This is the case in many cultures. In the Caribbean, however, people will not miss an opportunity to share their feelings... mostly good, but definitely bad.
So protection gone awry, I don't share any thing. Its really sad.
Today is the day that I am willing to share. And I shall. So listen.
