I hope that your pre-autumn space is faring well!

I used to never think about my weight, ate what I wanted – when I wanted and such, but then somewhere along the way, I was told I was ‘fat’ and I believed it and ever since I’ve been obsessed. Diets or not – I’m obsessed. I wish I could adopt a new attitude, but it seems so foreign now that I’ve been doing this obsession thing for so long….

Good luck to you in reaching your goals!

I’m pretty sure the term “depression” sums up what you’re going through fairly well. And considering the zippy euphoria of the most recent stretch, I wouldn’t be so sure manic-depression wouldn’t qualify for the whole kit and kaboodle.
Those ain’t fightin’ words, even though it sounds like a sterile diagnosis that diminishes your individuality. I think the world is a richer place for both mania and depression, for even assigning them colors. But it can wreak havoc on interpersonal relationships for those who don’t know who they’re gonna wake up next to any given morning. For that reason I hope you don’t overromanticize and undermedicate if therapy and/or pills have been recommended. They may be overkill for perfectly tolerable moodswings, but if it’s more serious than that, they could also make for less severity in the swings either way, which can be very stressful. I speaketh from experience.

I need to find a place like that, somewhere to rejuvenate. I understand your need to separate from the world.

I totally get this. I never quite thought about “my space” this way…

I think we all need this space.

maybe your lavender place is like my counting. sometimes it has to be done.

the reason maybe is not as important as the result/ resolution.

If you never pull away to yourself sometimes it seems like the world would keep pinching off pieces of you until there would be nothing left. To go to to a place of seclusion to protect oneself or rest and revitalize oneself can be healing and refreshing. But like all things that can be good we have to be careful not to let become a twisted version, doing more harm than good.

Well, I must admit, I was beginning to wonder where you were, but had faith you’d be back. Although it is a bit strange out here. Not quite like aol, where there seemed to be more of a community. Most would still be around, even if silent for some time. Out here, it seems as if one could be here one day and gone the next, to give up writing, never to return. glad you are still here.

Rebecca:

It is if you took some of the thought right out of my head. You said them better than I thought them. I truly understand what you mean, just not a lavender field. I do love the scent, it is one of my favorites. I used to grow it wen i was in my youth, but just a patch. Some of my best poems came from sitting in my garden. My place was ever changing, like it is today.

Still, I find comfort in my tall grades blowing in the wind. I watch them sitting under an old tree. Now my words are blowing like my blades. Back and forth, just like me with people. I must have charted to be a partial hermit in this life. For example, how long has it been since I left and entry.

I do enjoy your words, thoughts, and emotions. I find you to be a remarkable person. I don’t mean it to sound like flattery, but speak the truth. I usually read blogs to Music, but not yours. I let your mind’s expressions play the human tune of life. You have had a very busy Summer, who could blame you for your absence.

Write when you want, write what you feel.

I will try to stop by more often, if only I could be me these days. I hope you and your family are well.

Pardon my muttering and riddled errors. I’m playing MAD catch up on Blogs and it is late.

Sincerely,
Wes Ackerman

Last summer at this time I was there and it took me a long ass time to come back. I pop in and out on occasion but never for more than a few days or hours at a time. To be honest, I feel a longer visit on the horizon and I’m doing everything in my power to avoid it. If I didn’t have two little girls fully depending on me now 24/7, I’d probably just go. There is some comfort there – and I totally get this.
