In The Robynn Show, I'm a critic

Oct 16, 2007 13:40

I'm a little disturbed by how much of my confidence is dependant on other people. Right now, because it's at a pretty good level, I'm really not too bothered by it, but there's always a slight nagging feeling that this kind of a high sets me up for a inversely proportionally awful fall. It's funny how the introduction of a single person can make ( Read more... )

To be ones own critic is the best favour one can give themselves. It allows you access to the greatest gift of all, knowing thyself. I dont know WHAT that had to do with anything, but I suppose the tie in is this:
Over the years I've gotten to KNOW bits a pieces of you.

Truman catches a glimpse of 'something more than he is' the moment he decides to go on that boat...To me though, you've always been on that boat, constantly searching for more. You have got to be the bravest, most independent (and successful at it) person I know ;)
We cannot control everything in our lives. But its how far we come, and how we use the things that we DO control that determine who we are. Destiny be damned. We dont have to play by the rules of the game...WE ARE THE GAME ;)

Sina, sometimes I feel like when it comes to fighting for the world, there is no way to win. And then I start to feel that it wouldn't be worth the fight anyway. And then you come along, and don't bother trying to change that view, but rather skip to making me feel like I should fight for it anyway, not because it would help it become a better place, but because it would help me become a better person.
It's people like you who keep me compassionate when I could very easily turn to stone.
