on more than one occasion i have been encouraged to write something about myself. not my view on something outside of me or my opinion of a situation or a societal norm, but something personal. something about who i am, what i think, something i have experienced personally. me.
that is really hard. i have worked the past i don't know how many years carefully constructing a barrier around myself so as not to get hurt and it feels really odd to think about letting the outside see the inside of me. so i have spent the entire evening thinking about what to write about. what to say. what could i possibly have to share that would be of interest to others.
i guess it is just not in the cards tonight as i can not come up with anything that i am comfortable sharing. i did discover i have a ton of stuff floating around in my heart and head that i should get out. but i am not sure this is the venue.
so my parting comments are as heartfelt as they come - there is a lot inside of me. sometimes it is hard to force it out. be kind. be gentle. do not judge. it doesn't take much to force a retreat. i will try again soon. that is all. capisci?
Ok so this is my third time trying to post this and the last......there has to be an easier way to post to your blog...this is complicated .. unlike you...:-) .. yea right.. i think youll get more post if it were easier or im just dumb....LOL
ReplyDeleteIn my program of Life i have found that in order to keep it I must give it away. My Life Experience, Strength, and Hope. Not only helps me when sharing them with others, it also helps others grow. I have to remember its not about me its about doing Gods Will and Helping others. In return he blesses me more abudndantly then i could ever imagine...You are such a Brain that Many want to pick it..We want to know what makes your tic?? What Fears do you have?? What are your Goals?? What are you running From?? Where are you going?? How do you make it when Stress arrives?? What is your Real Story??... Letting us inside .. helps your open up and tear down the walls...but it more importantly.. give us some insite on how to live life. As not all of us has done it as good as you. Staci.. Pls keep teaching us its your Life time Destiny......You are the best at it...Let us Inside.. Much Love and keep up the good work that God has your doing....His Will
Hey Staci,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, let me say publicly what I told you privately. Your work (if it is fair to call it that) here is terrific! You should be proud of what you have going here. I'm a big fan of yours and try to catch what you write every day and never fail to be impressed by your candor, your honesty and your insight.
Second, I'm not sure I agree with the notion that somehow you need to write something "about" yourself to give us a window into your heart. It seems to me that everything you write reveals a part of you that's about as personal and real as anything I can imagine. It may not be overt, but believe me,it's there.
So don't feel like you have to make yourself the "star" of your writing in order to provide insight into what makes you uniquely you. Your topics, choice of words and emotions do a fine job of that. FWIW & IMHO etc.
Keep up the good work!
