Is it the bubbly pond that makes you say that?<br /><br />Thanks for this. Thanks for addressing the original part of my post rather than just the angsty addendum. I was concerned on sending it that I would simply get the instictive rush from friends to say "everything is okay" and such like. The sentiment is appreciated but - as you say - sometimes asterisked "hugs" feel awkward.<br /><br />I do want more hugs in person but I also feel that talk warrants talk.<br /><br />I think that only-children do tend to have solitary inclinations. I was an only-child till the age of five and I think even that has shaped me (as distict from the more usual gap of a few years between siblings). I do enjoy it but - as you say - there is something wistful in it. In the past I found a hint of melancholy to be strangely comforting. Now my expectations of life have changed and I find it galling.<br /><br />Liminal I had to look up but it is appropriate and less wanky than the word that I think of - transcendent. Mind you my concept of 'cusps' was nicked from mysticism - those notions that say there is something magical about border conditions like 'dawn and dusk' or 'an ocean beach'.<br /><br />A friend (at my cross-posting of this at Blogger) says that this is the only time she has seen me write honesty. I think it is the starkest case of it but that over time I have been peppering my writing with more frank admissions. And that has happened in part because of seeing friends on LJ do exactly that - I feel I can do it because others do it. I can thank you for that too.<br /><br />I am feeling better now. I usually feel better in the day than at night. Also I think the venting may have been the right thing for me. If it allows others to know that I am working through stuff then that is good too.<br />(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12710148812664294219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19268887.post-69516140393535872832010-05-06T13:54:16.908+10:002010-05-06T13:54:16.908+10:00Mel
Thanks. I figured it was you last time but I...<em>Mel</em><br /><br />Thanks. I figured it was you last time but I have been slack in looking at blogs lately so forgot.<br /><br />I have slowly been getting more frank in my postings. I think that <a href="http://lazyludditelog.blogspot.com/2010/03/moving-on.html" rel="nofollow">this</a> is very personal but I suppose it also looks a bit like a press release from a public figure that has done something embarrassing.<br /><br />So I suppose this is the starkest instance of my frankness. And I now am happy I did too. I am feeling a bit better. I do want others to be aware that I am somewhat troubled right now. Thanks for your supporting that.<br /><br /><em>Lynne</em><br /><br />I know. It is silly to hide ones problems just because others have bigger ones. Mind you I do think it is appropriate to moderate how much fuss I make if something is objectively smaller than the issues another faces.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12710148812664294219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19268887.post-8312691755991873342010-05-06T04:43:08.182+10:002010-05-06T04:43:08.182+10:00I hear you!

I feel like I just heard your voice unfiltered...... I feel like I just heard your voice unfiltered for the first time that I can remember. Not considered balanced scripted blog, but just a "f*ck it" moment.<br />I'm not always brave enough to hit publish myself at times like that. I'm glad you did. <br />It's easy to forget and always good to be reminded that we're all allowed to feel this way sometimes.<br />*hugs*<br />- Melinda (because you were wondering who Wafflehouse was :) )WaffleGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17149243271653499833noreply@blogger.com
