OD Fiction or OD Real Life

Life on OD is one large myth, shadow, story, yarn, fib, fantasy, with truth mixed in to make it interesting for those who are reading about life in the ozone. Our life may seem humdrum to us but it may be wild and mysterious to others.

Then again if our life is too humdrum we can add a little zip to it to make it exciting for others as well as us

Knowing the real us would not be all that interesting

See what being on duty in the dusty ozone will do for you on a long weekend…writing about the ozone instead of what I should be writing about…then again I could be on vacation if I write it that way….smiling

I would like to add a little zip to my real life.

You know, not everyone is untruthful. There are some people on OD who tell it exactly like it is. It keeps signing me out, but it’s DreamerOfNight again.

Aloha nui loa… I write at my site… only for me… What I write about… is the truth (of course… it may only be the truth that I see)… This place… has been of such tremendous value to me… helping me… to heal from the losses that I have suffered… And too… the people that journal here… have become my “internet” family… Me ke aloha…

I think sometimes, life online is a bit sureal… Things appear one way and they may not be that way at all… I have seen so much deception online… More than I ever care to deal with again. I have become gun shy and untrusting of most here and I think that is sad, because my heart always wants to believe in humanity. OD is really no different… It could all be make believe…Sigh

I prefer to think you’re on vacation, sipping wine and eating M&Ms. Or cheesecake. *smiling*

I’m craving dull and boring right now. Not all excitement is good. Too much drama in my life.

People know one another by what they choose to write here. Maybe truth as they see it, maybe not, maybe embellished or not – even fiction contains some truths. As Jim said above, I write for me, but perhaps not all the truth is there for it is still what I “choose” to tell.

I’ve always thought I wrote too honestly in OD, particularly about my struggles with depression. I’ve been very fortunate with friendships here in ODland. Oh…I didn’t drink myself under the table tonight since I have to see the sister tomorrow. Have a wonderful celebration of freedom tomorrow. 🙂

Wow, hit a nerve on the real and not so real lives of all us OD folks. Smiling

i write the truth in my diary – my ups and downs. that’s how you know it is a true representation of me. i agree with all that maui jim said. open diary means so much to me and maybe i am naive but i think most of what i read is truthful. i would like to thank you for your kind note in regards to the loss of a loved one through divorce. i am sorry you went thru it too. *hugs*
