On Self-Censorship

I just unposted a post that I would so very much have wanted to post... afraid of possible repercussions.  I liked what I had written.  I believed in it.  But I didn't want to compromise myself or anyone else.

My mind is spinning with freedoms and lack thereof.  What-ifs and if-thens.  And any number of you should/shouldn't haves.

In the end, the must-do's have won.  The what-comes-afters have not had their say.  They don't get to vote.
