Her reference to future historians may be her most revealing admission yet.
Not that I'm a student of my own posts, but that's another thing I've mentioned repetitively.
Some of us never wanted to make history. I've been shooting for a happy life and contributing to the world in ways that are important to me. Seeing as how I got dragged into the history deal against my will and seeing as how the public narrative being told about me was false, I decided to make sure my voice was recorded somewhere too.
But I've repeated this more than once. I wonder what the historians will have to say about all the repetition.
Musing: About a decade ago I had no voice and was worried about anything I wrote that would be seen publicly. I'd worry about spelling errors, typos, every bit of content and punctuation. It's been a long journey learning how to thumb away without worrying about all those things all while knowing I'd be immediately criticized and that the record would be read and written about later. It's funny to me, looking back, that I used to be worried about somebody quoting me and using "[sic]." All in all, now that I'm getting to the other side of a lot of my challenges, this has been very good for me. Lots of damage was done, but hey, what can you do?
I'm even leading up a new team endeavor (nothing to do with Mormonism) using all the skills (including being prepared for extreme criticism) that I've learned in the last 10 years. And the way it looks right now, this project has more potential than anything I've ever done before. (And MS rocked under my leadership.) We'll see how the project goes. I hope it works out.
I guess that's the long way of tritely saying that I'm now grateful for some of these trials (I should probably bear my testimony somewhere).
I have a hard time thinking of any reasons (other than those I've mentioned repetitively) to post here the way I have. Why else would anyone do what I've done? Seems pretty cra cra without good incentives. I suppose that's why I've continually repeated them.
