Gayle King Interview

Did this get posted? I don't think I've seen it.

Gayle King interview with Johnny Weir.

All in all, enjoyable interview. I admit to getting a bit uncomfortable with the outright gay-baiting, trying to get him to say that he was definitely gay, and even going so far as to question his diplomatic answer. And, yet, Johnny still managed to side-

It doesn't actually seem like a healthy, independent mind-set to me

I agree, based on several things he's said related to love. Throughout BGJW he just seems to lead such a *lonely* life, and in part, he chooses that deliberatly.

He shows all the signs of someone who had his heart broken severely and isn't willing to step back into that world.

*nods, nods, nods*

Yes, this.

[rhiannonhero]

He just hurts us so good in so many ways. Oh, Johnny. :P

When I last had a long-term relationship and when it ended, suddenly and painfully, I said to myself: "Stop! I don't need any more pain, I don't need anyone hurting me, I'll survive beautifully by myself. i feel quite comfortable when I live alone, I hate seeing anyone around in the morning when I drink my first cup of coffee. I will survive

Are you me???

***hugs*** because I know exactly how you feel. I've been successful and single for the past ~6 years and keep telling myself that it's better this way, but there's something inside me that 'wants'.

And yes, I want Johnny to love again too. He deserves it so much.

*thnnk you* This something inside you that 'wants' maybe soon comes up to the surface and it can change everything in your life.

Maybe it's wrong to compare my life with his but if you asked me, say, a year ago: "so are you going to live with anyone, have a family, kids?" I would smile in real surprise: "no, no, really, that's not for me". If you ask me now the answer would be quite opposite: it's "yes, yes, yes":) So I hope that someday when he meets a wonderful person (and maybe he'll need to meet an angel first:) he'll say something completely different to what he says now.

Ah, darling, I think we all know that feeling in some way, even if we don't live it out. You're not alone in feeling that way.

As for it being too late, no. It's not. It's like that George Eliot quote: It's never too late to be who you might have been.

So true. :)

I wish you good luck and much happiness. It's definitely not too late. As for wasting the years, no, I also don't think so. You needed time, you took it,and now you've got more to bring to the table with someone else. :)

Have faith.
