Scars are souvenirs you never lose, the past is never far

@thatkevinsmith, my own personal Superman

I've been a devotee since Clerks; laughed at Mallrats and loved Chasing Amy. I was wet with anticipation for Dogma, and it delivered. I followed the Red State news with interest, and in the middle of January began listening to Plus One and JaSBGO.

I OWN a Buddy Jesus I bought years ago at my local comic book shop. I am a Fangirl.

I am also very busy carrying on a career, financially supporting a spouse and family, and trying to navigate a midlife crisis. I hit rock bottom in December after seeing a movie notof Mr. Smith's making, but one he and his wife Jennifer discussed in episode 7 of Plus One: Catfish.

I am a catfish with a 5 year story. Knowing his thoughts on the movie as shared in Plus One, I want to ask Kevin Smith what he would do in my shoes.

Me: a "catfish" with a guilt complex... Them: Someone with cameras, interested in the story with a promise of "confidential at first". The word "Docu-reality" was used. What does that mean? Is there any way to go about this and still come out ok?

I want no exposure. I want no pain to come to those I love. I don't want to disrupt lives. BUT, and this is so important... I want other people to know they aren't alone. I want this topic open for discussion, and I want to heal.

So... What Would Silent Bob Do?
