2.24.10 – Trying to be brave


I’m going through a lot right now that I’m not really ready to talk about. I’m very reserved, so even having this blog is a huge step for me. Things that I didn’t think would affect me so much are and I don’t seem to know what to do. I know what most people would tell me to do, which is exactly what I don’t want to do for reasons I don’t completely understand. Perhaps if I go through the motions I can see what feels right to do.

  1. Trying to be brave... this touches the heart.
    I'm sorry things are being hard.

    This movie is really beautiful--watching someone else write seems so intimate and private and old-fashioned, I had no idea!
    I'd made a micromovie of me proofreading a paper ms, but it's different to see someone writing what seems to be a personal letter.
    Thanks.

  2. Thanks, Fresca. It's just one of those times in a person's life, but it is good to share, I've discovered.

    I rarely write letters these days, as it's so easy to call or email, but there is something about a handwritten note that just doesn't compare to anything else.

    On a happier note, I know you've mentioned your dislike of Facebook, but there is a group that was started called the Art Friendship Society that you can upload videos (and other art) to. There's a sister site called the Art Commissions Society that is have a tribute to love show through next week that you can post artwork or videos that are love related. Thought you might be interested.

  3. Thanks for these ideas, and the great link you left on my blog to Olympic movies!

    Yeah... I keep feeling I should get back on FB, but at root, the problem is I get really addicted to social networks, I kind of don't want to trigger more of it in myself.
    E-mail and blogging already takes up enough energy! In a good way, but it took a while to get them into balance.
    Thanks though--I love hearing what's out there.
