Seriously, can't wait to hear about the "me time" myth!<br /><br />I don't think being "real" will hurt your reader base. If anything, I think it will make it stronger. <br /><br />Would I be wrong in thinking that the people you want reading, will be the kind who appreciate your honesty? Anyone who responds negatively to YOUR blog and YOUR views doesn't have to stick around. Plain and simple.<br /><br />Myself, I read your blog because you've grown in such a good example of a healthy human being. I'm a bit of a spoiled, rotten person myself these days. It's not something that I can turn around overnight, it's a lengthy journey. And I sincerely believe that some of your insights have helped me to process things in a different light, have helped me to grow and become a better human being too.Christinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611674482484215313.post-71547467767698908722012-03-08T11:16:41.257-05:002012-03-08T11:16:41.257-05:00Change is the only constant, ya know?

It's so easy to say something sucks or is offensive without giving justification. Giving praise, and actually meaning it... now that takes thought, effort, and a genuine spirit you really don't find that often on these here internets. Just because you get a few negative nancies here and there doesn't mean you don't have hundreds of other readers open and willing to connect with you. I say go for it, and if you're worried about backlash... I can promise you that you'll still have plenty of readers. Yes. I promise.<br /><br />To quote one of my favorite movies...

Those things you just listed, rediscovering faith, me time myths and motherhood are all things I would love to hear about. Think about it.

I've...I'd love to hear about those things.<br /><br />I've followed your blog for a year now (or so), and I find you have a way to put words down in a way that makes me think about stuff. A beautiful and inspiring way.<br /><br />Being a woman who'd very much like to be a mom someday soon and being a woman to whom faith is something big I'd love to hear what you think about it all. About how you got there where you are now. What you really think. But it's hard, I'm sure; usually we people give just 90 % to each other and keep the 10 % to ourselves. Which ends up us being somewhat plastic to each other. I've been thinking about it too, although I don't blog so much myself anymore. It's hard to say stuff, real stuff, whether it's words on a blog or spoken words.<br /><br />But I believe that a revolution could happen if someone started it. What if someone was courageous enough to show that "this is me" and others would find the courage too... That's what I long for. Being real and having real people around me. I'm guessing a lot of stupid fears and social phobias might come crashing down when we'd see we are all just humans after all. Giving full 100 %.<br /><br />So please: write. I'll be reading.<br /><br />Kaisa from FinlandKaisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00278232805515910065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611674482484215313.post-80244724199857281102012-03-07T10:07:06.432-05:002012-03-07T10:07:06.432-05:00Well I'm all ears!!
