And you know what I tell myself?? "Meg doesn't post a bunch of pictures [even though, when you do, I always think you are so beautiful], she just rests in the strength of her writing." And that's what I want to do. Be strong and know your words are enough. They are not enough for everyone else :). Good writing is a gift! You are using it. And I like your "soap box stuff".Jeneric Generationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04475099676261879337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155538679069971441.post-51190113995337098132012-04-30T17:02:12.594-04:002012-04-30T17:02:12.594-04:00I love Jean Kilbourne.

Because it becomes an affirmation fest - and I don't wish to only identify myself by the kind things people say about the only things I want to post.<br /><br />Thank you for being honest - and transparent. Most of the time, I feel the persona I've created for myself on my blog is similar to Nanny from the Muppet Babies. Kind of enigmatic. Unintentionally - perhaps equal parts self-preservation and sometimes insecurity.<br /><br />Did I just word vomit all over? Yes I did.<br /><br />How wonderful for you to be a human! Celebrate that. Continue writing. It's a treasure many don't have.

Mine is generally happy... or at least urging myself to remember how to get myself back to calm in anxiety-filled moments... I want to remember those "at my wits end" moments... and remember how I coped too. And I want my daughter to read them... so she will know, no matter how well I hid it from her, I had my moments... so it's okay for her to have her moments too. <3 Be you.

I tend to express the most when I'm feeling good about life, but I'm learning to share the beauty that comes from the depths of darkness - or more so the rise from the depths. This is where the beauty reveals itself, but it cannot fully be revealed without the contrast of before.Brookhttp://nothanksihaveabike.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155538679069971441.post-52857864225816941942012-04-29T21:46:58.886-04:002012-04-29T21:46:58.886-04:00this was really interesting. thanks for sharing.this was really interesting. thanks for sharing.Brittanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16353715207053666559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155538679069971441.post-41788285474883134072012-04-29T14:04:56.528-04:002012-04-29T14:04:56.528-04:00I wrote much less gracefully about this very thing...I wrote much less gracefully about this very thing just a few days ago. <br /><br />I love that your blog says what your heart thinks.

It's refreshing to read a blog that doesn't cover itself with make up, and tells the story of the blogger the way it really is. People relate to you more because they feel you have an understanding of them at a deeper level, not just understand what they like to look at. <br /><br />Sara xx<br /><br />branchesofthought.blogspot.comSarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11256637428531354427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155538679069971441.post-77544219414087693702012-04-28T20:24:26.018-04:002012-04-28T20:24:26.018-04:00Don't ever stop writing your REAL self.

Stunning. It's not new information; we all know that the women we see on magazine covers are digitally enhanced, but it's something we sometimes need to remind ourselves of. <br /><br />Like any power, the power of advertising can be used for good or evil.

Part of the reason I don't have one is because I don't feel like I'm pretty enough, interesting enough, etc. in comparison to other bloggers. And fear in being adequate prevents me from doing what I want to do. It's something I'm working on. Regardless, when I read your blog I am not bombarded with a perfect image of a perfect life that I just must not be good enough to have myself. When I look through other blogs, sometimes (most times if I'm being honest) I am comparing and while I don't fault other people for having what they have, I do often come away feeling like I'm doing something wrong because I don't have a, b, or c at 24 years old.<br /><br />Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is that no, you may not post a hundred photos a week or about a perfect life, but you do post in a genuine way and that means more than any pretty picture does. I so admire your willingness to share the good and the bad on this blog. And I easily prefer it to the countless others that shy away from the gritty issues of life in favor of parading the pretty parts. You're an inspiration!Diananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155538679069971441.post-57146724623673862552012-04-28T17:45:48.055-04:002012-04-28T17:45:48.055-04:00I do it, too.
