Comments on: A lifetime of walls between us http://byflutter.com/?p=815 Dark and Divine Thu, 09 Sep 2010 11:43:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Jocelyn http://byflutter.com/?p=815&cpage=2#comment-22445 Jocelyn Thu, 12 Feb 2009 19:38:12 +0000 http://byflutter.com/?p=815#comment-22445 A fundamental tension in this post is how to stop protecting/avoiding The Boy by pouring yourself into the writing...and yet how to keep the writing, for all that it does for you. It's that damn balance thing. I say we all have deep affection for you, but The Boy should come first. We think you're wonderful, but he gets to love the real you, which is even more important. So write; we want to read you. But look up from the computer. Get up from it. Go do something with him.

Utterly captivating, but more importantly, utterly honest. You could credibly speak on behalf of my own fears about intimacy and vulnerability. Few things scare me like putting it all out there.

We all survive because we are here. and yet truly looking deep inside at ourselves and others and the worst that can happen to us and in the world, there really are no catastrophes.

In many ways it's more real than real life, in other ways it's just escapism at its finest. I use it all the time to run from my problems, to pretend like everything's great, to avoid the things and the people I'm not ready to deal with. Sometimes I use it to say the things I can't say out loud. Sometimes I use it as a crutch. Whatever it is, I'm grateful for it. Because I wouldn't have found you, otherwise. And that would be a terrible shame. It’s such a strange universe, this land O’Blogs. In many ways it’s more real than real life, in other ways it’s just escapism at its finest.

But i hurt someone in my family on one occasion and decided to put limits when it came to other people, not me. If they are involved in whatever happens I will ask them if I can write about it. I still try to put the real people in my life above nay kind of blog effect. I used to feel like I had to be completely honest in my blog – I still try to.
