I feel like a lot of my old self has disappeared in an attempt to fit in in my new country. I too find myself not saying things that are on the tip of my tongue in case they are misconstrued. Good luck with finding yourself again!Almost bedtimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08421211559857316509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697663242037175106.post-88116060126862885402012-01-24T06:07:07.969-08:002012-01-24T06:07:07.969-08:00Heh.

What we perceive to be our weaknesses are actually our unrefined strengths. Wish I'd known this when I was younger. Welp... now that I know, I hope to remember to teach that to my kids.Adhishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06785957920019814677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697663242037175106.post-44655901248177194462012-01-23T22:27:20.744-08:002012-01-23T22:27:20.744-08:00I am drawn to people who are very open and honest....I am drawn to people who are very open and honest. Not mean, but honest. I think I can sense when people are tip-toeing around my opinions and it almost feels insulting. Because I KNOW they're just my opinions. I respect other people's beliefs too. So I think my point is that I'm behind you and you're on the right track. Being totally honest with people is, in a way, giving them the benefit of the doubt. That they can be big kids too. That is true charity. I'm not there to witness your daily life, so please let us know how it goes!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04798688179112314541noreply@blogger.com
