nookncranny's Diaryland Diary

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

slowly, puzzle takes shape

she had this fantastic, idealized notion of who i am. but it wasn't who i understood myself to be. i tried to explain that i was more a collection of opposites. strong and frail. bold and sensitive. loving and shy. hopeful and sad.

impatience and rejection ensued.

i took this personally. in some silent, insipid way that i hardly noticed, i gave this rejection a little parcel of credence.

but isn't it true dear self, that rather than aspire to a worthy personality as defined by another someone, you wish to find that corner of the world that is naturally yours? where who you already are is embraced?

am i way off base?
