Even the iron bar has to melt sometime

This was going to be a reply to someone else, but I said "What she said" because too many words were attacking at once.   Struck a big ol' nerve

I'll fess up too, I have an inner man. And I don't think it's an abnormality at all. I rejoice in it and any man who has loved me loved me as much for that as they did anything else. Because people, because women like us are honest and it takes a good man to love an honest woman.

Oddly women who have loved me see me as a push over! They expect me to be the sub, while all the men I know, expect me to be the dom, although they are in themselves strong men. Isn't that odd? The truth is I'm both, but I hate being pidgeoned holed either way.

Your mother was an idiot. Sorry to say that.

I think you really hit the nail on the head- there is no one answer, one description, no black-or-white for people. We just all "are." And the lucky ones find people who love them regardless. People try to hard to make everyone fit one mold, one description, and sometimes it just isn't that easy.

It takes more strength to let someone in than to keep them out.

I read that sentence over and over again. I couldn't have said it better.

I sometimes think that I have been so independent for so long that I could never share my space fully with someone else. But I do dream about it an awful lot.

Sometimes I don't even know which one is "really" me, but maybe it's OK to be a big potato salad of a person, with all kinds of sides. LIfe is complex and messy, and so are we.

Love this! So true!
