I'm back, just like I said I woul...Guess what! I'm back, just like I said I would be. <br /><br />First off: I LOVED the gray sweaterdress. I thought it looked fabulous on your figure. I love it when clothes show that extra curve of the stomach, which is a LEGITIMATE curve. I loved even more the "Go Well" and "Warmth and Respite" posts. I feel like you're doing a really good job showcasing your personal style recently. <br /><br />Now, since I'm back, I'm going to indulge in some long thoughts. Ha! Stop me if you're bored. <br /><br />I think you hit the nail on the head with your critique of Facebook. Modern life has taught us that we have the "right" to remake ourselves in whatever image we choose - we don't have to listen to limits placed on us by nature, circumstances, etc. The internet is the ultimate place where we can live out that fantasy. However, it backfires because it's empty. I often think I should delete my Facebook account because I recognize this tendency in myself, both to shellac my life as it is and to be jealous of others' shellacked versions. However, I've chosen to just go on. Facebook isn't meant to be deep and that's okay. I just have to keep posting things that are appropriate there. I resist posting anything that shows much about my life either way, happy or sad, for this and other reasons.<br /><br />I appreciate your ongoing effort to be honest. I came back to your blog because I enjoy learning about the life of someone who thinks and feels so differently than I do. Reading your thoughts has really helped me to understand a way of life that is not mine. It's helped me to see how the kinds of things I might judge from the outside have real, human causes that all stem out of our desire to be loved. This doesn't mean that I agree with everything you write, but I think that it has helped me understand a whole new type of person from the inside out, which I hope you'll take as a high compliment.<br /><br />However, I also want to say that I think the idea that surfaces are fake and substance is the only thing that matters is also a false dichotomy. I even hate those labels. "Surfaces" aren't always just lies - sometimes we show less than 100% of our content to people because they don't need to carry all our problems, like a child/parent relationship, or any other position of authority. Sometimes it's also true that showing certain aspects of ourselves to people is a kind of gift, an intimacy that is more special when reserved for a few. Sometimes it's better to save certain insights for people who can appreciate and help us, especially if they're things we're vulnerable about - oversharing isn't always beneficial to either the listener or the hearer. Does that mean that our outer surfaces are lies, though? I don't think so. Not laying everything out isn't the same as lying. <br /><br />I think the REAL problem here is the idea that our lives are "products" at all - irrespsective of whether they are judged to be or are "fake" or "authentic". There are no brownie points either for holding back or for spilling your guts. It's never that simple either way. There are times when both are appropriate, and wisdom is knowing which is when.<br /><br />...Now I rambled and you're probably no longer glad I'm back.

All relationships go through very expected stages, and some of those stages are tough! I fully encourage people to work through them and so many do - either as a couple or with the support of couples counseling. There are occasions where the best decision, for the health of the couple and of the family, is for the relationship to end...or to ideally transition to a supportive co-parenting situation (if there are children involved). So many people "stay together for the kids" and they just don't realize how destructive that can be if the marriage is unhealthy. The kids don't get any model for a healthy relationship, they learn that being married means being miserable (that's a direct quote!) and they carry the weight of their parents staying in a miserable marriage for them. It is such a difficult decision and has so very little to do with keeping your legs closed, but I can certainly understand the desire to simplify it that way.pjshoegalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493987722691542290.post-84347968819327753422012-02-01T11:13:30.950-05:002012-02-01T11:13:30.950-05:00Just take a clothes hanger, cut off the hook, and ...Just take a clothes hanger, cut off the hook, and bend what's left of it straight.

I've cared too much about what people think about me for far too long. I think the criticism is good for me. I've developed a much thicker skin over the past year and continue to do so. This doesn't mean I'm allowing the hater to harden my heart. I can just handle criticism better now, and I'm starting to realize that it doesn't really matter what other people think. It only matters what I think of myself.Bonnie Irelandhttp://stfashionista.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493987722691542290.post-15164119131020712162012-02-01T10:40:04.551-05:002012-02-01T10:40:04.551-05:00Thanks!
