How honest can I be in what I write?

I am challenging myself to be as honest as I can about life. I really don’t want to be guilty of only presenting only the best sides. I think I do write about the interior world quite a bit, my doubts, my struggles along with the joys and wonders that I encounter. I was thinking what do we not write about? Have often have you heard somebody writing about going to the loo? I guess we are all familiar with the process but it could be a very different experience for some depending on their lives. Then I recalled I did write an article once about going to the loo. I recall someone saying to me something like, “G did you really have to create that picture of you sitting on the loo reading The Guardian?” I understood what they meant, I don't think I wrote about it again.

I receive many emails that go to my junk folder most of them relate to someone probably ‘a bot’ wanting a date. Actually to call it a date is to sanitise it. If these messages are to be believed there are many women in my local area wanting sex. I am sure there are but all with me? Most often I delete but occasionally I take a look. Of course, I am spun into a world of nudity and my mind doesn't fail to notice. If I have gotten this far something has been hooked within me, that bit that I rarely write about my libido. It is called a drive for a reason as once started it is hard to stop. I am now reminded of what was said when I wrote about reading the paper in the loo so I better stop otherwise I will draw you into the same fantasies that were being displayed on my screen.

Enough said to meet my own commitment to be as honest in what I write. I know amongst all my spiritual talk you get this well maybe if I didn’t I would be creating a different kind of fantasy but a fantasy all the same.
