I'm scared
Of writing what I think and my blog getting me the sack.I'm writing, then wimping out from sharing it.
Of going on the tube, even though I have been.
Of shoot to kill, and the impact it'll have.
It's not like me to be scared.
I don't like it.

damn them for making you feel scared. damn them for making the world unsafe. everyone needs at least some safety even if it's a tiny piece of cyberland to express your thoughts and feelings. i don't know how you would get the sack for expressing what you think in a blog but i could see it's possible, what with the confidentiality agreements and all.
it's tough work having a moral and political conscience, but someone has to have one. and everyone deserves the right to express those opinions.
You are not alone. We're all in the same boat. Everyday something gives me that sickly fluttering of uneasiness in my stomach. I hate the fact that I now assess the potential risk posed by my fellow commuters when I used to revel in London's glorious multiculturalism.
It will pass. Life will get back to normal.
As for the blogs you write but don't post - why not archive them somewhere so perhaps when your situation changes you can make them public?
Blogging is not worth getting the sack for - although perhaps perversely being sacked for blogging might be a root into the media.
Thanks Gareth,
Nice to know I'm not alone. Have archived them, am a squirrel at heart!
