Sometimes for me, I think I am blogging against my being. My beings wants to curl inward and be left alone. Of course, blogging doesn't allow that. Then I read this article today and decided that I, too, would rather be courageous than "good". <br /><br />http://www.forbes.com/sites/susannahbreslin/2011/10/06/why-crazy-people-make-better-bloggers/Vesuvius At Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02783271096885148080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-37406647599130202582013-01-16T02:41:38.249-05:002013-01-16T02:41:38.249-05:00Your truth is your truth, not subject to approval ...Your truth is your truth, not subject to approval or editing by others!

There are people out there that have said bloggers are narcissists but I think (for most bloggers) nothing can be further from the truth. When I read the words of others I feel validated. I feel better about my world. All that said, my favourite part of blogging is learning about different view points than my own. (In my comment section I have a part of a Bible verse, Come let us reason together. Before I started blogging I was very closed-minded and blogging has opened it up!

If you saw the draft posts, the things I'm not brave enough of willing enough to post you'd nod in agreement. Maybe if my words were as perfect as these, I'd commit:<br /><br />Many of us here think so little of ourselves already, our membranes are so permeable, it's part of why we write, to find the edges, to color ourselves in. <br /><br />Girlfriend, grab your crayons, markers, colored pencils, watercolors and don't let anyone or anything stop you from being who are wherever you want to be.<br /><br />And remember the wisdom of Dr. Seuss...those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.<br /><br />xoMelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10114884092474969555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-29640420418061720152013-01-15T11:40:49.629-05:002013-01-15T11:40:49.629-05:00Amen, and thank-you for saying that.
I think that...Amen, and thank-you for saying that. <br />I think that for many of us, our voices were never heard as children, or if we were heard, we were told in so many ways to be quiet. To still those voices. And it is so hard to break that habit, those rules. But. Our voices are just as valid as anyone's voice in this world, especially if we speak from our hearts. <br />You are a light in my world, Angella. You are a light in the whole world. I hope you know that.
