The great and the good and the worry

[jesse_the_k]

I love that Dreamwidth provides a connection (when I can comment) and a view (when I can't) to the various, swirling minds of my dwircle. I learn from folks who are leaders, and those striving to become leaders, and those who struggle internally and externally.

I worry that exposing my struggles will disgust my readers. That's why I have forty drafted essays which I can't delete and can't post.

Maybe I would be better of if I gaffiated?

What calls me most these days is working with my hands. Any ideas how I could give away my store of beaded jewelry in an equitable manner?

I don't think people would judge you for sharing your struggles.

They're more likely to think "Me too!" or "I thought I was the only one"

Thanks for this. I know I've reacted the "fellow-feeling" way many many times.

And sometimes it's the realisation that 'this is a thing?' where you've just accepted a certain feeling or certain circumstances as 'this is just what it is' and suddenly realise not only that other people are in the same boat, but some of them have worked out where the life jackets are stored and how to put them on.

That is beautifully phrased, thank you!
