Telling someone what worked for you is not the same as forcing advice on someone or trying to fix someone.

There’s a balance between gettin’ all up in someone’s bidness as the Rescuer and sitting back, refusing to help, because it’s “not your place”.

Honey, I can’t see you ever being truly comfortable with “it’s none of your business.”

And thank God, for that.

Britt’s right. You’re not the kind of person to say “It’s none of your business"… and I love that about you.

But don’t tell anyone, cause I don’t like anyone, remember! :D

*HUGS*

I absolutely love the fact that I can be having the worst day ever, where I feel alone AND lonely.  But I can come to my blog and others’ blogs and suddenly I feel loved and sort of like I am getting a warm hug.

I like Hilly’s comment. That’s how I feel.

I like everyone’s comments above me.  So, yeah, what they said. 

I think a lot of people start their blogs for various reasons and become surprised to discover the community aspect of blogging.  I know I was.

And I would have never guessed that the post from last week was still a work in progress.

I don’t tell my friends about my blog, for my own selfish reasons and a lot of it is, it’s MY private sanctuary. I wouldn’t want to run across any of them and have them acting like dopes and thinking it’s a big joke and it’s just “pixels on a screen”.
And yeah, I’ve looked at people who seem lonely or sad and thought, “They should blog. They could connect with people with similar interests and feelings. I should tell them.”
But then I think, I don’t know if they’d get it.

None of my RLF know about my blog, my Hubby knows, but that’s it.  Life is easier that way for me.  I live in too small of a town etc.  and sometimes I feel that people wouldn’t get it, and it would be used against me. 

I understand why you didn’t tell your friend - it’s okay.

My best friend. She is alone.  Not always lonely, but she, as I, doesn’t let people get close. She is my only real life friend who knows about my blog.  I’ve told her countless times how much blogging helped me after my move to another state when I didn’t know anyone, and therapeutically as well on many fronts.

There is so much out here, and I’ve “met” people who are like me, think like me, feel like me, accept me, and it has helped me. But some people will never find out.  That is what makes me sad.

Just goes to show… even unfinished, your entries are far more impactful than anything I could ever write! 

it’s rare to see the word serendipity… it’s one of my favorite “things” to ponder and consider… I actually just thought about it again the other day and to see it again is nice… thanks!

I live in a constant state of serendipity, and my blog replaces a paper journal too. Even though I have one of those under my bed with even more honest things...bahha.

I have been alone and lonely just as I have been with someone and lonely, I guess it all depends on if you’re happy. Right now, in my current state of mind, I am happiest when alone. I’m slightly lonely, but not anywhere near as lonely as I was with my ex.

So ya...thats my story for today.
