So here's the point I'm getting: You ARE fine. You are passionate, artistic, you feel things deeply. That's not wrong, that's fine. And I can tell that you're quite satisfied with being fine, as you should be.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698067676022598868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705770704945316407.post-28406239670006781792011-05-03T06:53:34.535-07:002011-05-03T06:53:34.535-07:00Thank you for a really courageous post.

I feel that often it is easier to say 'fine' even when I don't feel that way because it's kind of expected and often I don't have the time and energy to go into why I'm not fine.<br /><br />And yes, the feelings drive creativity, fine or not, give it motivation and expression so that yes, ironically, not being fine is . . well . . often better than fine.Mystic Musicianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05779554689482252669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705770704945316407.post-71389318130166882722011-05-02T11:07:29.447-07:002011-05-02T11:07:29.447-07:00By writing and making art, i am able to say, "...By writing and making art, i am able to say, "i'm fine" and have it contain some honesty. Without those things, i would be much, much worse...and that's scary. <br /><br />i have only watched one episode of Glee. But, i trust your taste in most things, so i'm open to really giving this show a chance. My many Gleeky friends will be thrilled, i'm sure.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12767976043988733602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705770704945316407.post-40585140049746846112011-05-02T09:52:58.887-07:002011-05-02T09:52:58.887-07:00I am guilty!!

And I lie, too. I'm fine. I can handle it. I got it. No, I don't need help. All lies. But....people like the lies, want the lies. How do I know this? Because on those rare occasions when I am a hot mess and actually ASK for help or the more rare days when I warn people I am dangerously close to coming undone.....they ask WHY? Why? Really? Have you been paying attention? Do you not know me? Really....ding dang....forget it. I got it.Lisahttp://www.realisa.orgnoreply@blogger.com
