I've been keeping my mouth shut lately, when I'd usually speak up and let the cards fall where they may....and I don't know if that was a mistake or the right thing to do. Regardless, I regret the things I don't do a helluva lot more than the things I do, so I said my peace. Where it goes from here (probably nowhere, possibly good or bad) matters less than not acting in fear. Or staying silent in fear, rather.
Probably not the smart thing to do. I'm crap at keeping my head down, and staying silent is sure a damn good way of doing that. I'm just tired. I'm tired of trying to do the "right thing", no matter how wrong it feels, all the time and having it blow up in my face, anyway. If it's going to blow up in my face, at least it will be doing what I want to do.
