When I got to the second to the last paragraph I was touched by how raw and honest you were, and your bravery for expressing yourself in a vulnerable light made me realize that I'm not the only woman in this world who struggles to love myself in spite of the drapery of depression, etc. that sometimes makes it hard to shine brighter.

Yes, I hear you.
Followed you over from ...Oh, hi.<br /><br />Yes, I hear you.<br /><br />Followed you over from your comment at Sandra's.<br /><br />Blogging has changed my life: it's given me opportunities, confidence, esteem, connection, support, love, and a map back to myself.<br /><br />I love blogging, and I am grateful to the point that words will never be adequate to describe the life I have now, as being one I can't even believe is mine.<br /><br />I wish this for everyone. For the past four years, since I logged on, I have been saying, "You don't need to go to therapy three times a week, just post three times a week." <br /><br />Also, if I were an M.D., every single prescription would read, "Start a blog."<br /><br />I wish this for everyone.<br /><br />People don't know how it takes the nebulousness that is you and delineates it as sharp as a black outlined cartoon.<br /><br />And, now, I'm finished.<br /><br />Sorry for the novel, but blogging? Blogging saved my life.<br /><br />Lovely to meet a like minded human being. A true pleasure.Alexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00609629888008025050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7364449760429050103.post-26081151093072334892012-08-24T14:07:40.788-06:002012-08-24T14:07:40.788-06:00'menage a trois with shame'....brilliant! ...'menage a trois with shame'....brilliant!
