Guys, I love you. Blogville is so weird and wonderful. I never thought I’d be writing a blog post that’s basically like a private journal entry, but I got such wonderful, thoughtful comments that it makes my heart happy. Writing has always been how I work through a lot of my hard thoughts, and just writing that post helped me a lot. But then to hear from others who felt the same, and others who were encouraging and supportive… it’s so good. This morning, writing this post reminded me of a song, Breathe (2AM) by Anna Nalick, whose lyrics I love:
Two AM and I’m still awake, writing a song
If I get it all down on paper, it’s no longer
Inside of me, threatening the life it belongs to
And I feel like I’m naked in front of the crowd
‘Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you’ll use them, however you want to
So thank you, for using my words to be kind to me and to yourselves. One of the comments made me realize that if I’d made different choices, I might never have started crocheting or knitting, and I can’t imagine not having that in my life, or having the amazing fiber community. I am grateful.
Okay, enough sappiness. I have photos of yarn shops and yarn to share but that’ll be tomorrow. I wanted this to be first.
Awwwww…what a sweet post. I am humbled by the gentlity of all the people I meet here. xoxo Regina
You are wonderful and I’m so glad I know you.
Sarah. Thank you. You are wonderful too!!
You are a sweetie! It’s easy to be hard on yourself – be nice to you!
Doing my best!
I couldn’t agree more. Writing down how you are feeling and what you are going through can be very cathartic. It can be a great outlet and sharing helps you feel part of something greater. X
Oh, hey! I remember that song. 🙂 And yes, Blogville is definitely one of the weird and wonderful places of the internet. *hugs*
“Life’s like an hour glass glued to the table and no one can find the rewind button . . .” I still sing that song and it still makes me feel the way I felt the first time I heard it. Thanks for making me smile. I’m still humming.
