I think it matters that you are living the moment, which is why you are happy. <br /><br />I was kinda worried that I was one of the ones that came on too strong with advice when I have exactly zero business doing it. If i did, know that I didn't mean to. I just love you to pieces and am so happy to hear that you are feeling good.blueshttp://bluesofawaxing.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5063279524477351975.post-71226591013112099562010-08-17T10:27:45.162-07:002010-08-17T10:27:45.162-07:00Ruby: "I think of you a bit like a woman com...Ruby: "I think of you a bit like a woman coming out of a love diet, you're hungry and you have to eat something." Word. <br /><br />Cat: This is the very, very first time that I have chosen to ignore the chorus (both external & internal) and make the not-as-straightforward choice. And it is exhilarating and terrifying. <br /><br />Mongolian Girl: As people are being more open and honest, I'm hearing a suspiciously high number of stories like yours - the person who shouldn't have been the right one, but was. Also, "Of course, you could be totally fucking up."? Thanks for keeping me balanced, lady.<br /><br />Rass: Oh, there's plenty to be unjealous of. Like the sideways glances from everyone who knows better. Or the ex who suddenly decided that even though he told me in no uncertain terms he was very very done with me, got mad when he saw someone pick up his discarded toy and play with it. And then got very, very ugly. So sometimes, I don't feel quite so bad about eking out small moments of "Yay!" in the middle of it all. <br /><br />Elder: Love that story. It's not that I don't have to be careful, and make considered decisions. But damn, they ARE my decisions to make. And right now, after coming out of many years of ugly, feels like the time to maybe stop denying myself good stuff. Can it all go south? Oh hell yeah. But at least I tried.resiligirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08236328854209776090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5063279524477351975.post-80547857947690628812010-08-16T19:00:24.060-07:002010-08-16T19:00:24.060-07:00Resi--If we sat around pondering the "should ...Resi--If we sat around pondering the "should I" question, we'd never get shit done. Have fun. It's not like you're making some lifelong commitment. <br /><br />I know a woman whose husband died a year ago this week. In spite of everyone telling her to wait year before making any big decisions, she sold her big house in the country and bought a smaller Craftsman-style cottage about a mile from our office. She is delighted and so proud of herself. She would've missed these opportunities if she had waiting around like everyone said she should.The Elderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08264886610072646883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5063279524477351975.post-42972634470121954302010-08-16T18:20:40.848-07:002010-08-16T18:20:40.848-07:00Oh wow, pretty girl.

I thought, despite always having been scared about having them, I don't have many regrets apart from having planted michaelmas daisies and rose of sharon. And then, less self-satisfied, I thought, perhaps that's why I don't have regrets, because perhaps I've been too scared to do the things that might cause them.<br /><br />Good luck xxCathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04553137352606684794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5063279524477351975.post-7724725065456388502010-08-16T13:32:03.033-07:002010-08-16T13:32:03.033-07:00Oh, and if you need to gush like a 16 yr old girl,...Oh, and if you need to gush like a 16 yr old girl, this is the place.

Uhm, no. Are both your arms going to fall off if you do it anyhow? No.<br /><br />So have some fun, don't over think it(impossible I know) and if he's rebound boy, you'll get it out of your system, and if it's something more then, well, timing isn't everything, and if you get hurt, well it won't be the first time right?<br /><br />I think of you a bit like a woman coming out of a love diet, you're hungry and you have to eat something. Go make a meal of it.Ruby Tuesday Sometimes Wednesdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12379398186535728671noreply@blogger.com
