You were beautiful when I saw you in M...Oh Katrina. You were beautiful when I saw you in May. <br /><br />Striving to write a short story a day? I envy your creative output.<br /><br />I always think that outsiders and family members who aren't particularly close always think of me as a loser, especially now with this thing with ken, the fact that I haven't graduated yet, unemployed, blah blah blah only seem to reaffirm my loser status. However, as my counselor told me, being a loser and being successful or relative labels, social constructions, etc and that the individual should determine their own definition of successful. Which is easier said than done, I'm afraid...and I'm also not really sure how true it is, which is kind of off-putting to me.<br /><br />I know it's difficult, being separated by half a country and all, but I'll gladly listen to you talk about your ideas -- and I don't think it's selfish to want that validation and I hope you will be able to find those appreciative people.<br /><br />Anyway, good luck with the adaptation process! Where will you show it if you get permission -- or am I jumping too far ahead? ;)Sonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02003122146228192404noreply@blogger.com
