Peop...Crap, I do visually what you do emotionally! People don't like to look at it: it's too confrontational, but damn is it cathartic! Paint the ugly then put it away. It makes focusing on the good stuff easier.<BR/><BR/>Love ya!Ella Menneauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15715848053790080723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13060394.post-1144951309733624042006-04-13T14:01:00.000-04:002006-04-13T14:01:00.000-04:00funny, i go to comment and see that zhen has picke...funny, i go to comment and see that zhen has picked out the EXACT SAME sentence that caught my eye. maybe i should just ditto her whole damn comment! teehee...<BR/><BR/>we should all find a way to enjoy our rage and heartbreak. i sure as hell enjoy mine! it comes out as sardonic wit so often, making it less possible for me to merely wallow, but giving me cause to share it with others in my own way. i guess i make it "something pretty" (in a sense, of sorts) so that i have a choice of what to do with it.<BR/><BR/>and she is so totally right. darkness isn't the only interesting thing out there. what makes thing more relevant or interesting, in my humble opinion, is finding the unexpected part of them and putting it to good use. am i saying the same thing? you're getting it, right?<BR/><BR/>we rock.georgeioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11336598523411041120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13060394.post-1144789961232660522006-04-11T17:12:00.000-04:002006-04-11T17:12:00.000-04:00Hugs.secretly, I enjoy my rage and my heartbreak, ...Hugs.<BR/><BR/><I>secretly, I enjoy my rage and my heartbreak, and wallow in it with a sort of bitter joy. As though this is what makes me alive.</I><BR/><BR/>That was me until recently (like about three weeks ago). I realized that it didn't make me more alive, though. Instead, it distracted me from living.<BR/><BR/>The ugly stuff is never fun but I think that it is worthwhile to take a long look at it, deconstruct it, and analyse it. If you know your enemy, he's easier to defeat or at least contain. And then you're that much closer to the victory parade. I'll bring the confetti.<BR/><BR/>One more thing in a long and rambling comment: the idea that pretty things are somehow less valuable than dark things is a completely socially constructed load of poop. Everything's got value and everything has its place. It'll only be less resonant if your heart's not in it.<BR/><BR/>Hugs.Zheniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07290470266298754994noreply@blogger.com
