What would the neighbors think?

While writing in my journal about two months ago, I suddenly stopped mid sentence. I realized what I was about to record may strongly offend many whom I love. The possibility was so slight that any of these people would ever read my remarks, yet I decided to censor myself. I was shocked and disheartened by my continued preoccupation with what others might think.

Oh how much growing up Chinese has shaped my thinking.

Isn't it time you kept an e-journal? That's what I do. Type it all out. Password protect.
