That way it sounds almost admirable. It really is time for me to face this, unpleasant though it is.<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/>BettyB.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08724883690591213622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17516221.post-1152126600353636012006-07-05T15:10:00.000-04:002006-07-05T15:10:00.000-04:00Independence can be so tiring, but just think of t...Independence can be so tiring, but just think of the alternative and you may gain a little energy chica. ;)<BR/><BR/>Ciao bella...Sideways Chicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06002230726261736435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17516221.post-1152108481809782062006-07-05T10:08:00.000-04:002006-07-05T10:08:00.000-04:00Thank you, TA.

Your self doubt is normal. Any human will question whether their actions are pure. But your heart will tell you the answer.<BR/><BR/>You first need to trust yourself, with your faults, then share your compassion for others. Don't forget, we need you to be safe and happy before you can share your happy indepence with us.<BR/><BR/>love,<BR/>TADTclarinethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06482572917950645940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17516221.post-1152032934704859062006-07-04T13:08:00.000-04:002006-07-04T13:08:00.000-04:00Thank you, Teri.

I'd like to approach that concept of "being". I don't think I'm quite there yet- too much self left to accept first.

Does being independent me that I don't need anyone? Am I more independent when I let myself attach to people without fear and lean on them? Who knows? <BR/><BR/>Words can make life so confusing. Can't they? <BR/><BR/>Being seems easier. I waited for growing up -- being able to pick. I can have ice cream for breakfast. I can choose what I want to be important. I stand under the stars and take my wisdom from them."ME" Liz Strausshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10711283307459944821noreply@blogger.com
