i think if even your children reject the idea of seeing their ‘perfect’ world beaten down they probably won’t gain a greater understanding until their much older.
i always knew the world was falling apart but it’s only been within the last few years that i’ve truly understood it. and i truly hate it.
i can’t watch the news or read the newspaper- or even watch ‘based on a true story’ movies.
seeing the injustices that people endure. it’s so heartbreaking.

but in having said that, i think you need to do whatever is right for your family. afterall, that’s what parenting is i guess. hehehe

thanks for the compliments, Maddie i would like to return the compliment.. i suggest potato sacks more often. you have an absolute inner and outer beauty. i’m rather lucky to have a friend like you

as for the writing, i think it’s more “centered” when it’s not coming from an emotional place, or a logical place. i guess when the balance is even. i’ve managed to separate my heart from my head (after ALL these years!!) and it seems to be mostly an even flow now.

some days are more emotional than others, though

Lucky for you that you’d look amazing in a potato sack then, huh?

Off topic though, I’ve always known you had a knack for writing, but you’ve truly blossomed now. Everything you write seems so understated, but powerful at the same time. Just pretty word pictures. Good girl

Maybe you’re just healing. I see a lot of my(old)self in my children, in that sense. Trusting, optimistic, giving everyone the benefit of the doubt. I started out that way too. I don’t know if I’m doing more harm than good when I try to get them to see that the world can be cruel and unforgiving.

haha thanks. it’s just the standard theme. no idea how to change it. nor do i have the time too.

even if you’re the only one who reads, i hope to post frequently. i need to vent sometimes, and i want to be able to look back on my progress!

Hey you! Looks cute here
It’s good to “see” you online again. Good for you for taking the time to take care of yourself. If you don’t, no one else will! I’ll be visiting often…
