LJ Idol: I Need the Struggle to Feel Alive

[deza]

Southern Guilt is a strange thing. It's not as prevalent now as it used to be, thank Og. However, my mom never quite left the 1950s, so I grew up with a healthy dose of the Guilt Method of parenting.

A partial list of the things a "nice girl" would never do:

• Leave the house without lipstick and mascara
• Go out to dinner without meeting the boy's

WOW. Awesome. I dig this. I was raised in that VERY same expectation. Well done.

All the feedback I have is hearts and "that's really good for you, yay". :D

I've put a lot of my hangups onto Catholic guilt.

Wondering if something was alright ...

But if someone said, "Sure, but tie me up first," that took a lot of the doubt about their agreement away.

We all struggle. Few of us are as successful as you.

Happy Thanksgiving.

I love in Louisiana and I kinda love your take on this. I like the idea of being fettered physically freeing your mind.
