I won't lie - it's been an interesting challenge. It's strange, how much baggage is tied up in all of it, that you never even realise - and how rarely it gets questioned.
I question everything. Mostly 'cos my nature is to immediately deny the obvious in a fit of [sub]Kulture Reich ("That's too popular, I can't like it"), and then I have to drill down to see what my underpinnings are for if I ACTUALLY dislike it, or if it's a kneejerk. If I don't, WHY don't I? Are there ways that I might like it?
A lot of what goes here is me kinda hashing that out. I'm sure it's pretty boring to read, but it really helps me.
And thank you. It means a lot to me that we came to these decisions together, too - that we didn't blindly do what we are "supposed" to, but did what is right for us.
the left hand one is VERY cool! i love the gorgeous sculpting for the setting, and the "gem" is really brilliant! the new right-hand set is also beautiful, and while i don't much care for diamonds, that's a really nifty setting for {what looks like} a lovely stone! they both look very "you"... '-}
I just realize that you haven't added me back after I renamed my hippiecritter journal. (All of my friends were removed in the process.) I'd love to have you back! <3
