Thirty Years Of Growing Pain(s)
The journey of a "motherless daughter" about to hit 30 and her search for kindred spirits
That is one of my favourite quotes. That and, “any ship is sheltered in a prt during a storm, but that’s not what ships are made for”
I need both of those etched into my skin. Seriously. I’m sick of being scared – what’s the worst that can happen? Well except for ending up under bridge obviously (at least that would make for a cheap rent 😉 )
I been there too. Homeless nine years ago to where I am today is nothing short of a miracle
Yeah, I’ve never actually been homeless, so I’m guessing my comparision was a bit unappropriate. I do that sometimes – I run my mouth and try to sound a lot braver than I am feeling (scaring away the ghosts through loud noises and such – I guess I’m one of those people with a loud bark and no bite 😉 ).
I’m sorry if this was insensitive to you and your personal story. Really am.
I think it’s amazing from just the little glimpses of your story I’ve caught on your blog what way you came in the course of your life. I truly admire you for your determination and guts. You know how some people can’t shut up about being self-made and you feel like telling them “Well, I guess, it’s honorable of you to take all the blame for being a grade-A jerk?!”? – With you it’s the other way around. I’d be damned proud of myself if I had come along the way you did, especially with you being so humble about it.
If I had one (and it weren’t too corny) I’d tip my hat to you!
Not at all!! My comment was never meant as any judgement or condemnation of your work. I love the blog!
No, no, no – I understood that you weren’t judging. I just felt the need to make sure that my joking comment of “ending up under the bridge” hadn’t been offensive, considering that you’ve actually been there.
I’m glad it didn’t though and I’m even glader you love my blog: Mutual (blog-)love’s the best there is 😉
