Post No. 314: If I Could Heal The World

(Image from YouTube)

The Main Problem In
All Of Life Is That We All
Began As Literally Nothing
(Or, "If I Could Heal The World")

If I could heal the world,
I would teach everyone that
the main problem in
all of life is that we all
began as Literally Nothing.

And, if I could heal the world,
I would teach everyone that
the main solution in
all of life is that we can all
become Literally Everything.

Thus, if I could heal the world,
I would teach everyone that
the main reason all of life
is so challenging is that we all
began as Literally Nothing.

And so, if I could heal the world,
I would teach everyone that
the main reason all of life
is so rewarding is that we can all
become Literally Everything.

That is why, if I could heal the world,
I would teach everyone that
the main conflict with all of us
being so negative is that we all
began as Literally Nothing.

Therefore, if I could heal the world,
I would teach everyone that
the main resolution with all of us
being so positive is that we can all
become Literally Everything.

Furthermore, if I could heal the world,
I would teach everyone that
the main devilishness with all of us
acting evil, at times, is that we all
began as Literally Nothing.

Additionally, if I could heal the world,
I would teach everyone that
the main goodness with all of us
acting godly, at times, is that we can all
become Literally Everything.

At long last, if I could heal the world,
I would teach everyone that
the main fear in all of life
is that we all literally
began as Literally Nothing.

And finally, if I could heal the world,
I would teach everyone that
the main love in all of life
is that we can all literally
become Literally Everything.

My Writing About My Blogs Being Sabotaged By Someone Who Is Very 'Tech Savvy,' Regarding The Blog Post "The Main Problem In All Of Life Is That We All Began As Literally Nothing" (Which Is Also Titled, "If I Could Heal The World") And The Blog Post "We Are The Darkness Which Becomes The Light" [September 20th, 2021 Update]:

I think that my blogs are being sabotaged by someone who is very 'tech savvy,' and they may be someone that I know, because I have noticed strange things happening while I have been editing my writing, which includes the text of my "Small All White in the Forest" blog being in all-bold type (including the gadgets on the right side, such as "Popular Posts," "Blog Archives" and "Labels," etc.) with the exception of the first two posts!

And it took me a while to figure out what was causing that to happen, but I concluded that it was two particular posts being published: "The Main Problem In All Of Life Is That We All Began As Literally Nothing" (which is also titled, "If I Could Heal The World") as well as "We Are The Darkness Which Becomes The Light."

So, I reverted those two posts to 'draft' format on the aforementioned blog. You see, I am afraid of having those two posts published on my "Small All White in the Forest" blog; however, those two posts are still published on my "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" and "Three Dark Horses" blogs.

My Follow-Up Update No. 1 To My Writing About My Blogs Being Sabotaged By Someone Who Is Very 'Tech Savvy,' Regarding The Blog Post "The Main Problem In All Of Life Is That We All Began As Literally Nothing" (Which Is Also Titled, "If I Could Heal The World") And The Blog Post "We Are The Darkness Which Becomes The Light" [July 27th, 2022 Update, Written On July 28th, 2022]:

This is My Follow-Up Update No. 1 to my 'September 20th, 2021 Update' that has the same information as "My Writing About My Blogs Being Sabotaged By Someone Who Is Very 'Tech Savvy,' Regarding The Blog Post 'The Main Problem In All Of Life Is That We All Began As Literally Nothing' (Which Is Also Titled, 'If I Could Heal The World') And The Blog Post 'We Are The Darkness Which Becomes The Light,'" in which I explained the following:

"I think that my blogs are being sabotaged by someone who is very 'tech savvy,' and they may be someone that I know, because I have noticed strange things happening while I have been editing my writing, which includes the text of my 'Small All White in the Forest' blog being in all-bold type (including the gadgets on the right side, such as 'Popular Posts,' 'Blog Archives' and 'Labels,' etc.) with the exception of the first two posts!

And it took me a while to figure out what was causing that to happen, but I concluded that it was two particular posts being published: 'The Main Problem In All Of Life Is That We All Began As Literally Nothing' (which is also titled, 'If I Could Heal The World') as well as 'We Are The Darkness Which Becomes The Light.'

So, I reverted those two posts to 'draft' format on the aforementioned blog. You see, I am afraid of having those two posts published on my 'Small All White in the Forest' blog; however, those two posts are still published on my 'Poet, Artist and Philosopher' and 'Three Dark Horses' blogs."

That being said, I watched a video on YouTube titled, "We can't give in to doomerism" yesterday, July 27th, 2022. And this was actually the second time I had watched this video, with the first time being on July 25th, 2022. So, after I watched this video the first time, I thought about posting some kind of optimistic prose, or poetry, from one of my blogs; but I decided against that later on.

Then, when the same video appeared, again, in my YouTube Recommended Videos a couple of days later, I thought, again, that I should select some optimistic prose, or poetry, from my blogs to post as a comment on that video! And I thought about utilizing my poem titled, "The Question Of Being Nothing And The Answer Of Becoming Everything," but then I thought that might be a bit too much.

So, then I decided that my poem titled, "The Main Problem In All Of Life Is That We All Began As Literally Nothing," which is also titled, "If I Could Heal The World," would be more appropriate. Thus, I took the time to edit the poem—on all of my blogs where it is published—in preparation for posting that poem as a comment on the above-mentioned YouTube video.

However, after having edited said poem, I decided against posting it on said YouTube video, as a comment, because I am concerned about being criticized for my comments on YouTube, especially considering that this poem implies that I basically know as much as God knows about how, and why, the Universe exists! Thus, I decided to not post a comment just in case I 'triggered' some true believing religious zealot, who may end up reading my blogs and conclude that I am some kind of "sinner," who needs to die and go to Hell. (But, maybe, that's just me!)

By the way, the reason why I decided to not consider posting my poem "The Question Of Being Nothing And The Answer Of Becoming Everything" on the above-mentioned YouTube video, as a comment, is because that poem also makes it seem as if I know as much as God knows about how, and why, the entire Universe exists.

But while I was editing the poem "The Main Problem In All Of Life Is That We All Began As Literally Nothing," which is also titled, "If I Could Heal The World," I also took the time to edit the post of that poem which I have reverted to 'draft' format on my "Small All White in the Forest" blog, due to the issues that I have had, in the past, with this poem being published on that blog. (Please see the above-mentioned quote from my 'September 20th, 2021 Update.')

Thus, while I was editing the "Small All White in the Forest" blog post edition of the "If I Could Heal The World" poem, I decided to see if I was still having the same issues as before with this poem being published on my "Small All White in the Forest" blog, as quoted above from my 'September 20th, 2021 Update.'

So, long story short: I republished the post of this "If I Could Heal The World" poem that I had reverted to 'draft' format on my "Small All White in the Forest" blog and it turned out that the text of that blog was no longer in all-bold type (including the gadgets on the right side, such as "Popular Posts," "Blog Archives" and "Labels," etc.) with the exception of the first two posts—and that is why I decided to write this update!

Now, to clarify, I have not attempted to republish my blog post titled, "We Are The Darkness Which Becomes The Light" on my "Small All White in the Forest" blog, since I am afraid that the all-bold type issues will re-manifest if I do! Therefore, I am thanking my lucky stars that I can republish my poem titled, "The Main Problem In All Of Life Is That We All Began As Literally Nothing," which is also titled, "If I Could Heal The World," on my "Small All White in the Forest" blog and I am leaving it at that. (Please see the hyperlinks below for the post on all of my blogs where "If I Could Heal The World" is published.)

My Writing Notes:

The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: "If I could heal the world, I would teach everyone that the main problem in all of life is that we all began as Literally Nothing."

And this poem was published on my "Poet, Artist and Philosopher," "Three Dark Horses" and "Small All White in the Forest" blogs (please see the hyperlinks below for the blogs), since I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message I am trying to convey through "Poet, Artist and Philosopher," "Three Dark Horses" and "Small All White in the Forest." Plus, I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message I am trying to convey through my new "The Oneness Of God" spiritual practice!

This poem was written in Portland, Oregon.

Post No. 313: We Are The Darkness Which Becomes The Light

(Image from BrainyQuote)

WARNING: THIS POST HAS CONTENT THAT MAY BE DISTURBING TO SOME READERS. VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED!

We Are The Darkness
Which Becomes The Light
(Or, "God Is Both Darkness And Light")

Because we are the naturally-
occurring vibration at the very
center of Literally Nothing which
is Self-Aware—due to the pressure
right in the middle of Nothing—
we are very dark in our nature.

And in order to transform
The Darkness, since that is what
we naturally are, we must turn
ourselves into The Light. For,
God—which is what we are—
is both Darkness and Light.

So, long story short: I republished the post of this 'If I Could Heal The World' poem that I had reverted to 'draft' format on my 'Small All White in the Forest' blog and it turned out that the text of that blog was no longer in all-bold type (including the gadgets on the right side, such as 'Popular Posts,' 'Blog Archives' and 'Labels,' etc.) with the exception of the first two posts—and that is why I decided to write this update!

Now, to clarify, I have not attempted to republish my blog post titled, 'We Are The Darkness Which Becomes The Light' on my 'Small All White in the Forest' blog, since I am afraid that the all-bold type issues will re-manifest if I do! Therefore, I am thanking my lucky stars that I can republish my poem titled, 'The Main Problem In All Of Life Is That We All Began As Literally Nothing,' which is also titled, 'If I Could Heal The World,' on my 'Small All White in the Forest' blog and I am leaving it at that."

Therefore, this 'Follow-Up Update No. 2' is about the fact that I finally attempted to republish my blog post titled, "We Are The Darkness Which Becomes The Light" on my "Small All White in the Forest" blog, even though I was afraid that the all-bold type issues would re-manifest if I did!

However, I was editing the labels in all of my blog posts that have had the above-mentioned issues with regard to being sabotaged "by someone who is very 'tech savvy,' and they may be someone that I know." (At least, that is what I assume is happening.)

Thus, my editing had to do with deciding to call attention to these particular sabotaged blog posts with the label *Blog Sabotage. By the way, the 'labels' that I am referring to appear on the right side of my blogs under the title, "Labels are listed alphabetically and include: keyword(s), or topic(s), post name and/or title name."

So, long story short: I republished the post of this "We Are The Darkness Which Becomes The Light" poem that I had reverted to 'draft' format on my "Small All White in the Forest" blog and it turned out that the text of that blog was no longer in all-bold type (including the gadgets on the right side, such as "Popular Posts," "Blog Archives" and "Labels," etc.) with the exception of the first two posts—and that is why I decided to write this update! (Please see the hyperlinks below for the post on all of my blogs where "We Are The Darkness Which Becomes The Light" is published.)

My Writing Notes:

The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: "Because we are the naturally-occurring vibration at the very center of Literally Nothing which is Self-Aware—due to the pressure right in the middle of Nothing—we are very dark in our nature. And in order to transform The Darkness, since that is what we naturally are, we must turn ourselves into The Light. For, God—which is what we are—is both Darkness and Light."

Just so you know, I revised this poem, as I often do with my writing! And I changed how this poem was written when I was editing it on my "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer," "Small All White in the Forest," "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" and "Three Dark Horses" blogs. So, I wanted to show you how this poem used to be written, before I revised it as above.

And it used to be written like this:

We Are The Darkness
Which Becomes The Light
(Or, "God Is Both The Darkness And The Light")

Because we are the naturally-
occurring vibration at the very
center of Literally Nothing which is
Self-Aware—due to the pressure right in the
middle of Nothing—we are very dark in our nature...

...And in order to transform
The Darkness, since that is
what we naturally are, we must
transform ourselves by becoming
The Light. For, God—which is what
we are—is both The Darkness and The Light.

Thus, I revised this poem to be written as it is above.

And this poem was also published on my "Poet, Artist and Philosopher," "Three Dark Horses" and "Small All White in the Forest" blogs (please see the hyperlinks below for the blogs), since I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message I am trying to convey through "Poet, Artist and Philosopher," "Three Dark Horses" and "Small All White in the Forest." However, please note my "September 20th, 2021 Update" about this poem being reverted to draft format on my "Small All White in the Forest" blog. Plus, I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message I am trying to convey through my new "The Oneness Of God" spiritual practice!

This poem was written in Portland, Oregon.

September 20th, 2021 Update [My Writing About My Blogs Being Sabotaged By Someone Who Is Very 'Tech Savvy,' Regarding The Blog Post "The Main Problem In All Of Life Is That We All Began As Literally Nothing" (Which Is Also Titled, "If I Could Heal The World") And The Blog Post "We Are The Darkness Which Becomes The Light"]:

I think that my blogs are being sabotaged by someone who is very 'tech savvy,' and they may be someone that I know, because I have noticed strange things happening while I have been editing my writing, which includes the text of my "Small All White in the Forest" blog being in all-bold type (including the gadgets on the right side, such as "Popular Posts," "Blog Archives" and "Labels," etc.) with the exception of the first two posts!

And it took me a while to figure out what was causing that to happen, but I concluded that it was two particular posts being published: "The Main Problem In All Of Life Is That We All Began As Literally Nothing" (which is also titled, "If I Could Heal The World") as well as "We Are The Darkness Which Becomes The Light."

So, I reverted those two posts to 'draft' format on the aforementioned blog. You see, I am afraid of having those two posts published on my "Small All White in the Forest" blog; however, those two posts are still published on my "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" and "Three Dark Horses" blogs.

February 19th, 2023 Update [My Follow-Up Update No. 2 To My Writing About My Blogs Being Sabotaged By Someone Who Is Very 'Tech Savvy,' Regarding The Blog Post "The Main Problem In All Of Life Is That We All Began As Literally Nothing" (Which Is Also Titled, "If I Could Heal The World") And The Blog Post "We Are The Darkness Which Becomes The Light"]:

This is My Follow-Up Update No. 2 to my 'September 20th, 2021 Update' that has the same information as "My Writing About My Blogs Being Sabotaged By Someone Who Is Very 'Tech Savvy,' Regarding The Blog Post 'The Main Problem In All Of Life Is That We All Began As Literally Nothing' (Which Is Also Titled, 'If I Could Heal The World') And The Blog Post 'We Are The Darkness Which Becomes The Light,'" in which I explained the following:

"I think that my blogs are being sabotaged by someone who is very 'tech savvy,' and they may be someone that I know, because I have noticed strange things happening while I have been editing my writing, which includes the text of my 'Small All White in the Forest' blog being in all-bold type (including the gadgets on the right side, such as 'Popular Posts,' 'Blog Archives' and 'Labels,' etc.) with the exception of the first two posts!

So, I reverted those two posts to 'draft' format on the aforementioned blog. You see, I am afraid of having those two posts published on my 'Small All White in the Forest' blog; however, those two posts are still published on my 'Poet, Artist and Philosopher' and 'Three Dark Horses' blogs."

That being said, in "My Follow-Up Update No. 1 To My Writing About My Blogs Being Sabotaged By Someone Who Is Very 'Tech Savvy,' Regarding The Blog Post 'The Main Problem In All Of Life Is That We All Began As Literally Nothing' (Which Is Also Titled, 'If I Could Heal The World') And The Blog Post 'We Are The Darkness Which Becomes The Light,'" I explain the following:

"...I watched a video on YouTube titled, 'We can't give in to doomerism' yesterday, July 27th, 2022. And this was actually the second time I had watched this video, with the first time being on July 25th, 2022. So, after I watched this video the first time, I thought about posting some kind of optimistic prose, or poetry, from one of my blogs; but I decided against that later on.

Then, when the same video appeared, again, in my YouTube Recommended Videos a couple of days later, I thought, again, that I should select some optimistic prose, or poetry, from my blogs to post as a comment on that video! And I thought about utilizing my poem titled, 'The Question Of Being Nothing And The Answer Of Becoming Everything,' but then I thought that might be a bit too much.

So, then I decided that my poem titled, 'The Main Problem In All Of Life Is That We All Began As Literally Nothing,' which is also titled, 'If I Could Heal The World,' would be more appropriate. Thus, I took the time to edit the poem—on all of my blogs where it is published—in preparation for posting that poem as a comment on the above-mentioned YouTube video.

However, after having edited said poem, I decided against posting it on said YouTube video, as a comment, because I am concerned about being criticized for my comments on YouTube, especially considering that this poem implies that I basically know as much as God knows about how, and why, the Universe exists! Thus, I decided to not post a comment just in case I 'triggered' some true believing religious zealot, who may end up reading my blogs and conclude that I am some kind of 'sinner,' who needs to die and go to Hell. (But, maybe, that's just me!)

By the way, the reason why I decided to not consider posting my poem 'The Question Of Being Nothing And The Answer Of Becoming Everything' on the above-mentioned YouTube video, as a comment, is because that poem also makes it seem as if I know as much as God knows about how, and why, the entire Universe exists.

But while I was editing the poem 'The Main Problem In All Of Life Is That We All Began As Literally Nothing,' which is also titled, 'If I Could Heal The World,' I also took the time to edit the post of that poem which I have reverted to 'draft' format on my 'Small All White in the Forest' blog, due to the issues that I have had, in the past, with this poem being published on that blog. (Please see the above-mentioned quote from my 'September 20th, 2021 Update.')

Thus, while I was editing the 'Small All White in the Forest' blog post edition of the 'If I Could Heal The World' poem, I decided to see if I was still having the same issues as before with this poem being published on my 'Small All White in the Forest' blog, as quoted above from my 'September 20th, 2021 Update.'

So, long story short: I republished the post of this 'If I Could Heal The World' poem that I had reverted to 'draft' format on my 'Small All White in the Forest' blog and it turned out that the text of that blog was no longer in all-bold type (including the gadgets on the right side, such as 'Popular Posts,' 'Blog Archives' and 'Labels,' etc.) with the exception of the first two posts—and that is why I decided to write this update!

A Body's Life Is Temporary

I know that my human body,
just like every other body, is
not going to live forever, but
my soul, just like every other
soul, is going to live forever!

My Writing About Getting Ready To Die [October 10th, 2015 Update]: I am only planning on doing a limited amount of new writing, since I think that I am getting ready to die, because I am tired most of the time! Thus, I think that after being HIV-positive for so long that I am not going to be here much longer... (I was diagnosed in November of 2000.) So, I am planning to only work on my personal care (that is, my day-to-day living) and my civic duty (that is, participating in upcoming elections by voting, including 'special elections'). Plus, I am taking the time to reread, edit and revise my blogs ('writing is revising'), so that I can correct all the mistakes that I have made in my existing writing!

[I feel like I need to clarify why there are so many 'revised dates' on this 'my writing,' just like there are often times so many 'revised dates' on other 'my writings' similar to this one! You see, I really try to keep my writing consistent as possible across all of my blogs. Therefore, as I am writing, I try to use the same phraseology wherever possible with regard to similar types of my writing so that, when I am editing my writing, I can change all of the similar writing at the same time and in the same way! Thus, a lot of the revisions indicated above, after my name (–Paul Whiting), and shown right after the original 'written date,' are often times due to these aforementioned consistent-writing revisions.]

My Writing About Still Being Alive [August 3rd, 2021 Update]: I am still alive! And I am feeling a lot better than I was feeling—a couple of months short of exactly six years ago—when I wrote my 'October 10th, 2015 Update' (that also appears as 'My Writing About Getting Ready To Die' on some of my blogs), which can be found above. Plus, I have a smartphone again, after years of only having a basic phone. So, I am editing all of my blogs, but I am still preparing for death—especially now with the COVID-19 pandemic. However, I received my very first COVID-19 vaccine on June 25th, 2021, and I am now fully vaccinated for COVID-19, so there is still hope.

My Writing Notes:

The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: What inspired this poem is my impending death, because I know that my human body, just like every other body, is not going to live forever (the reader should know that I am HIV-positive and that I have full-blown AIDS), but my soul, just like every other soul, is going to live forever!

And this poem was published on my "Poet, Artist and Philosopher," "Three Dark Horses" and "Small All White in the Forest" blogs (please see the hyperlinks below for the blogs), since I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message I am trying to convey through "Poet, Artist and Philosopher," "Three Dark Horses" and "Small All White in the Forest." Plus, I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message I am trying to convey through my new "The Oneness Of God" spiritual practice!

This poem was written in Portland, Oregon.

My Writing Notes:

The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: Every lifetime has a cross to bear! In other words, every soul has a cross to bear—in each and every lifetime—and some have more than one!

What inspired this poem are the difficulties that I have dealt with in life, including having a truly dysfunctional childhood, since I was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ("The Mormon Church") and the various health challenges that I have dealt with, including issues with spiritual health, mental health and physical health (the reader should know that I am HIV-positive and that I have full-blown AIDS) all of which were based upon My Karma!

Plus, what inspired me to republish this poem, as part of my "For Easter Weekend" series on my "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer" blog, is the massage that Jesus The Christ sent to all of us when He was crucified and then He was resurrected! You see, I truly believe that "We Are All A Part Of God."

Therefore, Jesus Christ was demonstrating to all of us that His Body and Soul "had a cross to bear in that lifetime." And that is why, when Jesus Christ was resurrected after He was crucified, He was still His Soul contained within His Body, but His Soul and Body were transformed into pure energy!

And this poem was published on my "Poet, Artist and Philosopher," "Three Dark Horses" and "Small All White in the Forest" blogs (please see the hyperlinks below for the blogs), since I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message I am trying to convey through "Poet, Artist and Philosopher," "Three Dark Horses" and "Small All White in the Forest." Plus, I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message I am trying to convey through my new "The Oneness Of God" spiritual practice!

This poem was written in Portland, Oregon.

September 21st, 2021 Update [My Writing About My Blogs Being Sabotaged By Someone Who Is Very 'Tech Savvy,' Regarding The Blog Post "Every Lifetime Has A Cross To Bear"]:

I think that my blogs are being sabotaged by someone who is very 'tech savvy,' and they may be someone that I know, because I have noticed strange things happening while I have been editing my writing, which includes the blog post "Every Lifetime Has A Cross To Bear" not appearing on my "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" blog!

And, even though I can see it on the Blogger Dashboard, and I can go to that post directly, it appears as if I never published that particular blog post on my "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" blog!

So, I provided a hyperlink to the blog post "Every Lifetime Has A Cross To Bear" from the aforementioned blog on my "Small All White in the Forest," "Three Dark Horses" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer" blogs. (Please see the hyperlinks below for the posts.) You see, I am afraid of having that post appear as if it is not, in fact, published on my "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" blog—and that is why I provided a hyperlink.

Post No. 001: A Place To Place All Of My Best Writing In One Place!

(Image by Paul Whiting)

"All Of My Best Writing In One Place!"

I decided to create this new blog in order to have "a place to place all of my best writing in one place!"

You see, I already have four blogs (this is the fifth blog) and, so, my writing is a little too "spread out," so to speak.

These are my four other blogs:

https://smallallwhiteintheforest.blogspot.com

https://poetartistandphilosopher.blogspot.com

https://threedarkhorses.blogspot.com

https://paulwhitingmath.blogspot.com

And I am planning to create posts on this blog that contain posts from my old blogs because, eventually, my plan is to have "all of my best writing in one place!"

You see, I have been writing since I was in high school—so I have been writing since the mid-nineteen eighties—and I am now in my mid-fifties.

Hence, the name "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer!"

My Writing About My Blogs Being Sabotaged By Someone Who Is Very 'Tech Savvy,' Regarding The Creation Of My New Blog Which Is Titled, "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer" [September 17th, 2021 Update]:

I think that my blogs are being sabotaged by someone who is very 'tech savvy,' and they may be someone that I know, because I have noticed strange things happening while I have been editing my writing! Please see my previous comment below, from "My Notes," about a former decision to stop editing my posts:

"By the way, I have decided to stop editing my posts because I have had problems with duplicate posts being created, while I am editing posts and I have accidentally deleted original posts by mistake, while trying to delete the duplicate posts. Then, I had an entire blog post disappear while I was trying to edit it. And now that I am worried that I will have blog posts disappear entirely if I try to edit them, after I have posted them, I have decided to post whatever I write and leave it at that—flaws and all!"

Thus, I have decided to condense all of my best writing into a new blog, which is titled, "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer." And so, I will be able to have "a place to place all of my best writing in one place!"

That way, I don't have to deal with the stress of having my writing posts being sabotaged (I assume) by whomever can manipulate my blogs in an effort to control my writing (I assume), since I am a writer who maybe says too much about how life really is!

Therefore, I am planning to republish my old posts on this new blog, as soon as I can figure out the most feasible way of posting them—in as chronological of an order as I can manage—while at the same time I am placing posts with similar topics in "groups," as I have done with some of the posts on my old blogs. (Please see the hyperlink below for the new blog.)

My Writing Notes:

The reason that I wrote this prose can be summed up with the following statement: My main motivation for creating this new blog is due to issues that I am having while I am editing my blogs! You see, I have had weird things happen, such as duplicate posts appearing while I was editing, and I deleted what I thought was the duplicate posts, but I actually deleted the original post; and I have had blog posts disappear right while I was editing them; and I have had edits that I didn't do appearing on my blog posts; and I have seen edits from one post appear in another post in some weird format! And so, I explained on my other blogs that my reason for this new blog is to have "a place to place all of my best writing in one place!"

And this prose was only published on my "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer" blog.

This prose was written in Portland, Oregon.
