I found your blog through your flickr profile when I was looking up photos tagged with my town! I know what you mean about worrying over if you should complain or not on your blog…I have the same issues with knowing the blog is mine, (and I don’t have a big following-mostly “real life” friends) so I worry if people are going to think less of me because of something I’ve written…some days I care and some days I don’t. I guess that’s just how it goes.

Wish I had been to pole class to give you an in-person hug. Just remember you’ve got supporters - people who think you’re wonderful just they way you are - no explanations necessary!

It’s never easy, but it’s as simple as Thomas’s blog says: feel no shame for who you are. Posting this kind of thing to your blog is not a matter of “What will my readers think?” or “Have I explained myself well enough?”, or at least it shouldn’t be. It’s just you. Writing. And fuck everything else.

And yet another part of me wants to eternally explain, because if I could only explain clearly enough, surely everyone would understand, right?

You could never make everyone understand. That’s not your failure, it’s others’.

Anyway, honestly, thanks for sharing.

Oh Amber — big hugs to you.

I don’t think crying is weak at all. As new-agey, touchy-feely tho it sounds, crying is good for you, releases those endorphins and what not. And it shows you CAN feel, which is far, far better in my opinion than being so numbed or jaded or worn-down that tears are impossible.

This IS your blog, and consequently, you absolutely should be able to write about whatever you like. As far as blog drama, it always waxes and wanes, you know? It certainly can be wearing — but it passes.

Take a deep breath and go do something fun, maybe besides the computer, for a while, as you’ve certainly earned it.
I’ve been there.
It gets better :)

One last comment (I hope!) and then I’ve got to sleep. :-)

(((((((((()))))))))))

I love you. And I’m so grateful for you too.

Y’know, the one consistent up side to the seemingly endless stream of bullshit in life is that in the low moments, there’s always the open affirmation from my friends of being valued and loved. How cool is that?

Do me a favor though - throw that underlying guilt about signing off hastily out the window. :-) You’re at work. Of course you have shit to do!

And feel free to link if you want. I have to grow up sometime. :-)
