The real me is a continuing quest for most of us, how much to share and show, how much to keep private. Keep on looking for what will make you most comfortable inside and out.P'tit-Louphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08771719017447343899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10112235.post-1124254315039719982005-08-16T21:51:00.000-07:002005-08-16T21:51:00.000-07:00Thanks everyone for your comments.

I've been thinking a lot about this today in the midst of my fog of stress.<BR/><BR/>This morning I just didn't want to go out again and put on a grin and pretend that my life was just fine when I've got this fog of stress with my private practice looming. So today I talked about it more at work with colleagues- simple solution, I guess.<BR/><BR/>But there's also something about the loving of me that's hard that I've always struggled with...and here's this part of myself that I'm completely vain about (my hair), probably the only thing, and how completely symbolic is it that I bind it up or back when I go out into public.<BR/><BR/>Okay, I'm tired and I'm just rambling incoherently now. I'm going to make a sweep of blogs...add some new poetry and it's off to bed with spinster.<BR/><BR/>You all rock!HistoryGeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02670515936852776370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10112235.post-1124252944265591112005-08-16T21:29:00.000-07:002005-08-16T21:29:00.000-07:00spin, I have the same reaction when I take my hair...spin, I have the same reaction when I take my hair down. I, too,have long hair and I like it. But I hate having it in my face or in my way as I go about my day, so I rarely wear it down. When I unclip it at the end of the day, my image sometimes startles me.<BR/><BR/>As for being yourself, I can only second what others here have already said. We like you for who you are, as we know you. We'd be happy to know more, if you wanted to share.<BR/><BR/>As for your final paragraph, I have to say that once you're comfortable with yourself and feeling more whole, I bet the partner appears.Aravishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07766002202567429153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10112235.post-1124220812412219212005-08-16T12:33:00.000-07:002005-08-16T12:33:00.000-07:00Sadly, i fear that we all have to rein ourselves i...Sadly, i fear that we all have to rein ourselves in for public consumption. Just to meet society's expectations.<BR/>Jesus, I've even started with the "Ooh, am I too old to wear that?" shit!<BR/><BR/>However, I do feel that I can be about 98% of the true me, on my blog.<BR/>And the support of my friends in blogland makes that possible.<BR/><BR/>So if need be, conform a little for the outside world but be yourself here in your domain.<BR/>'cos frankly, we all love you the way you are Spins.Flashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15353325323930520077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10112235.post-1124211450214509502005-08-16T09:57:00.000-07:002005-08-16T09:57:00.000-07:00Accept and seek out that which you desire. Do one ...Accept and seek out that which you desire. Do one thing different each day (your new profile pic is dead sexy, I think you're moving in the right direction). You seem to be very accepting of yourself already (compared to me, from my POV). What's missing? What are you holding back from Yourself? I look forward to finding out about you as you do.LavaLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00853877245976052565noreply@blogger.com
