So its been forever since I've updated this thing, and I should be in bed right now, but I have too much running through my head so I'm not tired at all. Even though I've been quite busy this weekend, the island has also seemed terribly lonely. I generally enjoy peace and quiet, but this presents a problem when you don't feel like being alone. I

I think it's because we're all afraid, to varying degrees, of being hurt or looking like a fool in front of someone else. We all believe (mostly) in the validity of our own feelings, and to share them with someone who is distraught might prompt a reaction from them that would imply our feelings have no merit.

I think you're on the right track to realizing what you want to do in life, Angela! Don't give up (I know you won't). :)

so yeah, i'm as bad at getting on here as you are at updating, but i thought i'ld comment you....

a lot of times i find myself stumbling to say what i feel because I know what I mean but other people don't. often it takes a lot of words to translate the meaning of my thoughts into something that gets my point across. other times, like mahler says, it's that i don't want to play the fool, i don't want to say anything that's dumb.

i totally agree that communication is good stuff. my temperament is so much better when i just say anything i want, and if it ends up being dumb then i laugh it off, or change the subject or something.

there's also the whole way society is heading. telling people how you feel is not "cool" these days. sometimes you can really feel something good, but to say it is to be a "suckup" or "cornball". the best way around it is to do what works for you, be confident, and others will adapt to it.

give me a call sometime, it sounds like you have a lot of pans on the stove.
