Cleansing

I feel refreshed, clean and renewed.

In the past, I could hang with the best of the filth mouth truckers, but over time I have been shedding this crude form of expression. It feels good. It is also not easy. I still find myself from time to time wanting to utter an unsightly word, but I have done a good job of filtering it out before it is vocalized. Mostly, it happens when I do things like hitting my head on the car door, or dropping a glass (I haven't done either of these two things, but I can't remember a specific event when I felt like cursing, so these examples will have to suffice).

I guess this is kind of like a person who quits smoking cigarettes. Once they quit, they begin to notice how many other people smoke and how awful it smells. I have felt the same way with bad words. Its amazing how many people curse around me. It seems amplified now, and quite sad.

Why can't people express themselves without using obscenities?

I'm going to go through my past posts and begin censoring them as well. I don't want to be remembered for such things. Even though it was my past, this medium allows me to go back and clean it up a little.

Here's to a clean future . . .
