Mental Clarity

Thanks everyone for understanding and responding to my small freak out yesterday. I try to put my best face forward as often as I can but we all get down at times.

I know everything will work out and I truly am proud of my accomplishments and comfortable with who I am – I’m just not always comfortable with where I am.

Sometimes, as much as you want to be able to say “I’m fine”, you have a moment of weakness and accidentally say “I’m confused” or “I’m scared” or “I’m kind of sad”.

Usually when you do that in real life, the person just stares back at you with a deer in the headlights look that reads, “um… I really just wanted to talk about this pinot.”

So, embarrassed, you look away and say “So this wine… I think I detect a hint of chickory.”

And you both move on.

You bury the vulnerability and try not to talk about it because it makes people uncomfortable.

But… if you have a blog, you can share those feelings without having to see the awkward look.

It’s a chance to clear the air without having to make anyone physically uncomfortabe.

I thank you all for the support and the advice and the mental clarity.

I feel much better now :)

And just so you know, I’m still obsessed with this.

Even when I accidentally cook the egg over medium instead of over easy. Today I had it with roasted broccolini, so it was a full meal.

Happy Saturday!

Who do you turn to when you need to talk about the “hard stuff”?

  1. One of my top reasons for writing on a blog is to share my feelings and thoughts, the way I see it… my readers don’t have to read if they don’t want to. I blog for myself.

    I adore over-easy eggs on toast! I could eat them every day.

  2. Pingback: Details Regarding Blu Ray Movies

  3. Im not good at talking about the hard stuff in person. I never have been, and probably never will be. I still havent even told my parents that my boyfriend and I broke up. They’ve asked about him a bunch of times, and I’ve just flat out lied. “Oh yes, he’s coming over tonight, but we wont be coming by because Im just too tired”. I just cant tackle the hard stuff like that. Thats one of the main reasons I love blogging so much. You can say whatever you want, and you dont have to look anyone in the eye while doing it.
