What is your definition of 'love'?

Hmmm ...

Then I can only assume that you are happy to cut yourself off, in some small way, from communicating with society.

That's fine, as long as you know you are doing it.

I communicate well with my family and friendly acquaintances, that is all I care about.

Ah, an isolationist - okay, I can identify with that.

Still, not to flagellate a deceased equine, but ... as someone who claims to like writing poetry (wait, does that mean you really LOVE writing it, or merely LIKE writing it? I'm confused ...), one would think that you are aware of the meaning and impact of words, and would never choose their definitions willy-nilly ...

I enjoy my hobbies, especially as I can shut myself away in 'my space' to do them!

So then a quick question:

If you are concerned only with family and friendly acquaintances understanding you, why post your poetry online?

I once had a hobby of journaling. Every day I would write the intimate details of my life in my books. I shut myself away and expressed my fears, frustrations and elations on those pages. I enjoyed doing it.

Yet I would never dream of revealing the contents of those journals to the public.
