Everyone crafts an image of themselves to some extent. You seem to be more of a raw nerve, but it's more than that. It's not over-sharing. You're an antenna. There's all this input in all our lives. You seem to be able to take it in and process and output your feelings pretty quickly. And by And because it's all there, there seems to be something there for any reader. Or maybe it's just that many of us are at somewhat the same points in our lives and that makes it easier to relate, but it draws me in. I was having a similar conversation with my 9 year old daughter the other day. She was telling me that she was able to express all these feelings she was having through her drawing. We talked about how healthy it is to be able to do that. I don't know, maybe we all have that when we're young and learn to forget it as we get older. But it's a gift when you can hold on to it...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8276394445294788649.post-32901135497123553612012-02-20T03:16:21.877-05:002012-02-20T03:16:21.877-05:00Hot damn, congratulations to Serena!Hot damn, congratulations to Serena!Lysandra Cook Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02282852449496189406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8276394445294788649.post-38763297319078821912012-02-19T11:08:18.832-05:002012-02-19T11:08:18.832-05:00Beautiful piece of writing, and performance by you...Beautiful piece of writing, and performance by your daughter.

I have been following all of your posts on FB and usually read all of the articles on your blog when you link to it. As a mother, I relate to you so strongly as you watch (and support) Serena move into her future. I love how proud you are of her. I love the message of hope this brings. Congratulations to Serena...and to you. ~MayaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
