You do an amazing job of articulating a lot of the things I struggle with blog-wise and life-wise. <br /><br />I'm probably always going to be one of those pretty pictures bloggers because it's a form of therapy for me, haha!<br /><br />However, I love reading your blog and Jezebel.com (especially the comments) for some deeper thinking about personal and societal issues.Jenn @ Dear Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00018134856987121926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227164077037384805.post-915140514305256192010-03-19T09:17:03.365-07:002010-03-19T09:17:03.365-07:00i love this! you are simply amazing. i salute yo...i love this! you are simply amazing. i salute you for blogging with heart & authenticity. i, too, am like you, i have a hard time letting any emotions out unless they are good ones. i've always been this way. i am a very positive person (always have been) but i am working on letting emotions out, even if they aren't as pleasant as i'd like them to be. we are all human :) i look forward to the upcoming posts. and CONGRATS on losing 20 lbs since dec, that is awesome!! hugs!!Melitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13697060059681626806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227164077037384805.post-28054413550194898632010-03-18T05:54:00.602-07:002010-03-18T05:54:00.602-07:00i can't wait to read your next post. you are a...i can't wait to read your next post. you are amazing and inspiring!! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227164077037384805.post-59798555951237167622010-03-17T20:23:34.812-07:002010-03-17T20:23:34.812-07:00agreed I want honesty, not self-censorship.

Café Chick can have a lot of fun that I'd normally hesitate with, although we are both far from perfect. What's always in the back of my mind is that once a post is 'out there', it's out there forever, even if I choose to delete it later (caches, etc), and sometimes I don't need to remind myself and everybody of a bad hair day way back when ... although I appreciate it when other bloggers open themselves up like this. Double standard? I guess so!Caffeinated Wekahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07235662962500264686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227164077037384805.post-26222930677289002072010-03-17T15:16:54.961-07:002010-03-17T15:16:54.961-07:00You know, I'd been thinking the exact same thi...You know, I'd been thinking the exact same thing. Everyone seems to feel so pressured to appear perfect.<br />Like that's what everyone wants to see.<br />I believe people read blogs because they're desperately trying to RELATE, to feel NORMAL. <br />I really do appreciate people who open up, because it takes a lot of courage to not care about the negative input. I've learned that I can either worry for the rest of my life about what everyone else thinks, or I can enjoy my life the way I want to. <br /><br />:) Great post.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10939689470007828766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227164077037384805.post-55749702735873190272010-03-17T13:46:48.572-07:002010-03-17T13:46:48.572-07:00Go for it - looking forward to seeing the results!...Go for it - looking forward to seeing the results!<br />One thing I've noticed, in many of the blogs I read, is that 99% of people only leave positive, supportive comments. To have a really great dialog, some folk will need to disagree, so just be prepared for that and I think you'll be onto a winner!Pauline Wileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15387098614220322595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227164077037384805.post-30516274311709479102010-03-17T12:58:35.856-07:002010-03-17T12:58:35.856-07:00see, this is GOOD stuff. this is what its all abou...see, this is GOOD stuff. this is what its all about. i love your radical authenticity. and i, for one, will be along for the ride!!! :)<br /><br />flex those courage muscles!<br />xo sstephanie alainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06153675770992321729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227164077037384805.post-46702163007236544192010-03-17T12:55:36.894-07:002010-03-17T12:55:36.894-07:00i'm glad you wrote this because right now i am...i'm glad you wrote this because right now i am going through such a hard time with a relationship, and it's so hard to blog in a happy voice while i'm really upset and most likely crying on the inside. i look forward to reading your more "honest" posts!
