I actually think when you're alone that's when YOU can really be yourself, without any pressure. You can do the things you like and are interested in, there's a lot more to a person than how they come across in public, sometimes it's just getting it out that's the problem! That's how I see it, anyway!
We are all here and I'm glad you started this thread as I can totally relate to you. |
OMG you talk to bugs! That is just the cutest thing!
When my sister was terminally ill she started hearing her flowers talk. She called me up one day and said, "That I talk to my flowers is nothing new. I have been doing that for years. But now they are answering me. Do you think they know I am dying?"
Actually, I think all the drugs were making her loopy but I said, "Yeah, they know you. You spend all your time with them. You're the flower whisperer. And now they trust you enough to talk to you, too."
That answer satisfied her completely.
I am not as magical as my sister was. Or you, I think.
