I was thinking something along of the lines of a disclaimer.

Why did i start writing this? I think all writings are for an audience. I write as though i am addressing someone, you for instance. And we (you and I) agreed that there can be no you. As sure as you can't be sure that I am the one writing this.

Sounds confusing isn't it? It really makes one's mind do mental mazes. Going round and round.

To simplify.
I write for an imaginary audience in my head. They could be someone else. They could be just myself. Whatever it is, they (you/I) have all the hopes/aspirations/expectations that I alone conceive for them (you/me). And you, the real person who might be reading (i.e. audience) have no idea that i have already done so. You read this as though i am writing to you and for you. Because in a warp way, i am. And you, though you might feel that you know me from what i have written (to you), can never be sure that it is to you and for you. You can't be sure that i have been truthful, that i am being myself.

In any case, i thought i should clarify this. To you. Just in case you have any expectations of me (from myself).
But certainly, all these points should have been implicit. Shouldn't it?
