I tend to post, generally, for one of two reasons; one being that I'm bored and feel like rambling. The other is to angst and whine. After noticing that my journal contained far more of the latter than the former, I've been self-editing more and more. I'm doing this because I don't want to be "one of those journals" that has nothing in it besides self-indulgent whining and begging for attention. The world is neither entitled to, nor interested in, my damage.

Don't self-edit. You need to get it out. Lock things if you have to, so that no one can read them, or so that only a couple of people you trust can read them.
But get this shit out of your head.
I love you.
