Yo...Tweet, you write with heart and mind wide open! Your insights, allegories and literary references are really, uhm, astig. You make me want to read Sue Monk Kidd and Tropic of Cancer. <br /><br />Some of us have to travel far and get into so much trouble and do all these emotional, psychological, mental and intellectual gymnastics before we learn to love and accept ourselves. Took me years. That's what this lovely post reminds me to celebrate. <br /><br />I loved Hurt Locker. I was clapping like a fool on my sofa when she won Best Director. That movie and this post was last year pa but it's only now that I discovered your blog kasi! <br /><br />xoxo<br />NikkaThe Viva La Vida Mamashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09649508158679472701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7730008242508262153.post-65610598415897182992010-10-04T16:22:28.628+08:002010-10-04T16:22:28.628+08:00“I want to surrender myself to a woman.

Men can be such a fuss sometimes, demanding too much of our patience and understanding. Some, but not all. Some feel insecure and intimidated whenever they see a woman soaring to greater heights that they subtly put their woman in their right place: as you wrote— their cheerleader. Some, but not all.<br /><br />We are born into a country with too much religious restrictions and sociological hang-ups. Girls are directly taught home economics while boys do arts and craft. Since childhood, women are engineered to be inferior to men in so many ways, it’s frustrating.<br /><br />But in this age when girl power is the new world peace, the challenge is to live a balanced life as a woman and as an artist which feels almost like mission impossible. As writers, we go through these tough times when we feel like we’re being tugged in so many directions. I may be young but I went through a phase in my life when I also lost my “mojo.” Don’t worry, you’ll get it back. Take it from the girl who lived to blog about it. :) *wink wink*<br /><br />I thought I’d remind you of a line you wrote in Wander Girl: He must be one of the biggest supporters of my dreams – my own rah rah boy. Absolutely non-negotiable.<br /><br />Chasing after your dreams is absolutely non-negotiable.<br /><br />Cheers! :)Kath C.

Gurumayi Chidvilasananda said We must live according to the Heart's consent. that takes so much courage! I think when you meet the one who lives like that too, then a partnership borne out of that must be bliss. <br /><br />who knows really :) but it's such a beautiful thing to hope for.i'm an island girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05951106848623568959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7730008242508262153.post-72550819999365168782010-04-27T11:33:44.804+08:002010-04-27T11:33:44.804+08:00Glad to know this is helping you, Peej. ;) Mwah! ;...Glad to know this is helping you, Peej. ;) Mwah! ;)<br /><br />Poosh, Budsy!
