It seriously freaks some people out. Although I don't wish my life away, I'm looking forward to being old because I can't wait to look back on my life and see what has happened. That makes me remember everyday to do something awesome so I'll have something to think about when I'm old!<br /><br />I love how reflective this post is.

I hate the scent personally, but the coverage and color of the tan was amazing.

Barrie.<br /><br />As for comic books, it really depends on what you're into! I've always loved the X-Men, there is literally room for everyone in their universe although the overall tone is a bit. . . dark? But not in s depressing way. More a tongue-in-cheek, roguish, gritty way. I also am a fan of the Green Lantern Corps, classic Spiderman, and a great segway into comics is Marvel has a classics series of graphic novels such as Pride & Prejudice, Kidnapped, and The Three Musketeers.

It makes me want to schedule a playdate for them in a library with enough room to really dance of course. <br /><br />Thank you for expressing the mixed feelings of getting in touch with our inner children. You're right it's not so straight forward or freeing for those of us touched by abuse. Though it does give me something to strive for for my own children. <br /><br />I guess what I am clumsily saying is keep talking even if it's through digital words, keep dancing for her even if she sometimes just watches and isnt spiritually there. Keep knowing that you arent alone and some of those wishes come true further down the road.<br />:)Bethyflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03113890733865719427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7930006019236973212.post-79250441516079578882012-01-13T17:41:02.147-08:002012-01-13T17:41:02.147-08:00If one person connects, realtes, or understands, I...If one person connects, realtes, or understands, I'm glad to bring solidarity.

Not just by how thick your skin is, but by how you aren't afraid to cry. It's not about holding yourself together so that the eroding structure doesn't crumble to the ground; no, it's about meeting the ground in shards and being able to pick yourself up again once you are tired of staring at the dirt. You simply amaze me, my dearest. You always will. -Emilytheshadyladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14449090650115680478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7930006019236973212.post-14552524557753516162011-12-28T05:05:39.045-08:002011-12-28T05:05:39.045-08:00I really enjoyed your music, thanks for posting it...I really enjoyed your music, thanks for posting it. I found your blog today while searching for an image of a Christmas tree with presents under it. And I found it, I hope you don't mind if I reposted it on my blog. <br /><br />I read your post on the 21st about bumps in the road. These bumps are gifts from God, they help keep us in his presence, always calling upon him for help. When you walk home at night and you feel fear from the darkness, the unknown. I recommend asking your guardian angel for help and take that a step further, by praying to the guardian angels of all those you will meet on your path, ask those guardian angels to bring peace to your meetings with their wards; so that you will feel at peace in your journey.<br /><br />Merry Christmas!<br /><br />MichaelMichaelhttp://www.monk2be.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7930006019236973212.post-68745616629287117202011-11-26T08:21:46.596-08:002011-11-26T08:21:46.596-08:00I just saw this comment now, months later.

It's ironic that in so many ways I have log wanted a scar to prove where I had been, the pain and conflict etched undeniably- certain and able to be proven to those who never justified or believed. But of course it is your discussion of the deeper scars that rings so true.<br /> How dare we be strong if we are cracked? How dare we be weak if we are "perfect"?<br /> Funny that now that I face my first real skin-level scar, potentially life saving as it is, I feel my most vulnerable and unfixable in years. Much like you I fear the inability to hide it (especially as it will be across my throat) but also the frailty and story that hiding it creates. I hope to find such sharing moments, freeing in both their profound emotional difficulty yet public, commonplace nature.<br /><br />I miss those happenstance sharings and human connections- treasure them and do please follow that shaking voice and surprisingly raised hand. You never know when your story helps free another's uncertainties.Bethyflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03113890733865719427noreply@blogger.com
