So talented. By the way, sorry for pissing you off a while ago with my grandma opinions.

Okay, I feel this one, too.

I’m down to posting, like, once a month on my blog. I believe so strongly in speaking out, and yet I don’t want to be the one to do it anymore. It’s a strange, uncomfortable realization and I still don’t know what to do about it.

I have to ask… do you think sobriety is part of the catalyst for this change? I think maybe it is. For me, anyway.

WOW! love that you got that from Nujood! No one can pigeon hold you into a mold you don’t want to be in… continue to be consistently inconsistent! (love that!)

*hugs*
…I remember reading your post about self-acceptance the other day, and thinking, Hmm, I wonder if my relentless *HUG*ging [and the *HUGS* of others] helped you to reach the place where you realize you deserve to be hugged & loved.

So while I consider myself a ‘glass is half-full’ person. You are more ‘the glass fucking hates me’.

Write what you is feeling dooood, unless you don’t want to put it down.

Girrrrrl, we are so on the same wavelength. As much as I want to shout on the rooftops that I have healed and grown and learned, I also want to silence my voice. There are new chapters, new moments to share, and those are what make this whole blogging thing worth it.

So I’m just coming over here from the SV book club, so I have no idea what you’ve written in the past or anything about your story, other than what you’ve mentioned in this post.

All I can say is write for yourself. Tell your truth, whatever it is.

It’s a big to have this attitude of ‘something more.’ It says a lot about how you see yourself as more, and that’s a very good thing.

“If it bleeds it leads.” – The old journalism mantra carries over to the blogging world all too easily. We all go dashing about from one friend’s crisis to another, rarely reveling in the mundane, simple, and beautiful growth that happens so gradually. I say fuck the numbers. People will read what they want. You just need to write what you need to write when you need to write it.

Well, I guess Nujood is the poster child for Yemeni child brides? She did put it all out there and in doing so help raise awareness of children in a similar plight. As long as what you write is authentic, morbid or happy, it will inspire others.
