I'll admit, I'm a sensitive person. I'm easily offended by what others think, do, or say about me and my writing. I'm working on that. I'm married to the complete opposite. He's blunt, to the point, says what's on his mind, and definitely walks this earth giving people his two cents worth. I often think, why were we brought together? Well, I can only come up with one reason, to teach me. I usually sugar coat everything I tell people. But why? It doesn't help a single soul if I'm not honest with them. <br /><br />Not sure why I'm spilling my guts here on your blog, but I get the feeling you speak your mind and I guess I'm saying, that's okay. It's good to be who you are and express the way you think and feel. I'll be the first to admit, people who are able to express themselves honestly will live a lot longer than someone like me who crams it all down and ingests it. <br /><br />I'm learning that in the grand scheme of this thing I call life, it doesn't matter if the rest of the world loves me, or thinks I rock. What counts is belief in myself. My husband would say, if you don't love yourself, nobody will, and everyone else can go to... well, we know what he'd tell me. <br /><br />Intriguing post!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02691497935668743387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051839363797869923.post-70095113933520349152014-06-05T18:06:26.072-07:002014-06-05T18:06:26.072-07:00So funny.

You are way too complicated, rebel, and there is something to the way you say things that sounds like you have the boxing gloves on. You have unique points of view and you are very opinionated. I honestly disagree with your point of view most of the times. You've ruffled my scales once or twice and it is obvious you and I don't play the Reciprocate Visit Game. I come here and read you because you intrigue me. No, I don't get what you're doing must of the time, but I still find your posts interesting. I absolutely love the fact that you speak your mind with no regard whatsoever if people agrees or disagrees with you. Man, that's huge, and I respect that. And just to be clear here, I don't read stuff because the writer is my friend and being my friend doesn't guarantee I will like the writing. Be it book or blog, I read only what I truly like and interests me.

Personally I find your unique perspective refreshing in a world of "me toos." I admit it took some getting used to, but that's true of everyone I guess. Anyhoo, everyone else said just be you and that’s all we can be.

I ...I'm going down the IWSG list instead of up. I figure I'll meet more bloggers I haven't already met that way. So after reading your post, I tried to click the Pale Moonlight link. It didn't work. Sorry. The only bit of advice I can offer is the words I finally heard to a Disney song a couple of days ago. "Let it go." I'm that out of touch with movies, LOL! But I found out long ago that holding a grudge will poison you, so I state the facts, give my opinion, and try to make peace. If that doesn't work, I let it go. Yeah, right. Well, I do try to make peace. But letting go still might take me a week or so. I keep practicing. Sometimes the person remains in my life, sometimes not. By I have a clear conscience, and that's what matters. Whatever else happens, even if you give up on IWSG, don't give up on writing. It's great therapy. It helped me get over my anger at the illegal aliens who ran over my son with a truck and kept going. He's fine now, and that helps. Sher A.
