OK. It has been pointed out that my journal has become, "that place where [I] go to convalesce by having the majority of your posting community fawn all over [me], tend to [my] wounds, stroke [my] ego and tell [me] what [I] want to hear"... but, as my broccoli friends point out, what would be the fun in that?

Right now, I'm about learning, especially about the not-so-pleasant aspects of me. I need to learn about how to interact with others better and deal with how people really think and feel about me. Honesty, not fawning. Community forum. No filters.

I've just posted a snapshot personality test, and my astrology chart, giving ample suggestions for ways I do and do not work within the Universe, not to discount your own experiences. Apparently there are those who do not feel comfortable in other forums, so...here it is. Fire away, both barrels. I will not judge you, or even reply, other than to say thank you for the input, unless you request it. I will consider everything that's written, and try to incorporate it into my future Life.

Thank you for your time.

Maybe it's just me...

But I say PISS OFF to who ever said that. This is YOUR journal where you get to express YOUR feelings without worrying about whatever other people think about whatever it is you have to say about what you are feeling. This should be your sancuary for your thoughts and people who read it need to be respectful of that. They need to also remember that they are reading it by choice and that if they don't enjoy it they can not look at it. Although I would call such people fair weather friends.

Grim, you take care of everyone around you in life and you are constantly trying to better yourself. I don't think it's a bad thing to have one place where you can come to and get support for yourself for a change. Some people don't like to see the Rock in thier life exhibit weakness. They want to see the Rock be rock-like at all times, because if the Rock ever crumbles, then how can they themselves ever expect to get by? But we are all human, even Rocks like you. And we all need support because we all feel fear and anger and we all question ourselves sometimes. And we all need to be able to do that. My only suggestion of aspects of your self that you might change would be to cut yourself some slack. That and get a narrower friends filter.

So there you go. There's my 2 cents of honesty. Maybe not quite the answer you were expecting, and I don't doubt it may ruffle some feathers, but I've never been a go with the flow kind of girl. So there.

Smooch!

In other words...

"Your Live journal is really too much all about you. Could you have it be more about us?"

...is not something I would tolerate hearing from people who claimed to call themselves my friends.

Incredibly Impressed with you Temple of God

[aurorawyndancer.livejournal.com]

I was not sure how to contact you any other way, that did not take me back into the mess I made of Grim's LJ...

but I was already incredibly impressed with you from that! and from how highly Grim speaks of you... and now I come to your LJ, and the very first post I see has me stunned in awe at you, and your amazingly strong courageous self...

it would seem we are going through some similar growth processes... and I would be very honored to have the opportunity to get to know you... I was proud of everything you said, and how you defended Grim when he was well... standing alone facing the rocks... and that alone is worthy of my respect. May I "friend" you?

*bows low to one Grim says outstrips him by far with her amazing gift of Submission*...

Well thanks, although I didn't really do much besides lose my temper. And I don't kow about me outstriping Grim in the submission category. I've seen that man in action, so...

Anyhoo, friend away. Everyone can always use more friends.

In my oh-so-humble opinion of course.
