You ever write a long post and after you've finished you delete it because you suddenly realize that you just don't give a fuck as much as you thought you did?

It's called 'venting'. :) Been there done that many times. Now it's just a practice before posting to see if I really want to post it.

Does this include replies too, because yes to that.

I'd do it more often, if before publishing there was one more question: are you *really* sure you want to share these words?

Frequently. I'll type it out, determine it's either not worth the energy to post and deal with, or I'd gotten what I'd needed out of it just by typing and so it's unnecessary to post.

I occasionally write long rants for this very reason. It’s out of the system, there’s now no need to poison others with my bile. *delete*

More times than I’d like to admit. 😂
