It’s funny, but I seem to be able to talk with people here on livejournal, and with those people via email and IM – people that I’ve never actually met in real life, whereas I find myself unable to talk this over with people that I have met in person, who I see every day. I wonder why this is? Why am I able to do something incredibly brave as to put my name and profile out there on soulmates, and talk about it with people who I have never met in person, but I shy away from talking about (for want of a better word) my love life with people who know me face to face, people who see me every day, or my family.
It’s curious. And I don’t have an answer.
bloody cat!
The cat (Munich, my favourite one) just came and sat on the laptop keyboard and deleted my entire response (honest!)
In brief: I think in real life we are expected to act like love is no big deal until we find it. On LJ you can be a bit more honest.
Re: bloody cat!
He he… I saw the title of this reply, and thought, oh my god what have I said to provoke such a reaction?!! So, I’m kind of relieved that it was only Munich that provoked the outburst…
Hmnn, you are probably onto something there, although there again, it’s interesting how I’m only making these (some of my most personal posts ever) available to a very select group of LJ friends.
Thank you for being there, listening and being supportive. If I don’t say it enough, then it’s greatly appreciated. ^__^
Re: bloody cat!
That’s what we’re here for 🙂
Maybe because you don’t have to see us. Talking to people face to face can be trickier.
Interesting…
Possibly. It would be interesting to find out if I can still talk with you people about it if I do meet you in person sometime? ^__^
