Questions and Answers

Advice from Heather on Life, Love, Money, Spells, and everything else.

I have never read from a journal that was so ego-maniacal.
I am not meaning this is a cruel fashion, its just I've never read a blog that uses "I" sentiments in almost every sentence.
Did you know that there's life outside your own personal bubble? I don't want to ruin the wonderful life you appear to be presenting to the world, but, damn, do you have to present your life as having no flaws, because that scares me.
It terrifies me to think that there are people out there who are so self absorbed that they don't see the warning signs...
Though I confess, you're a fantastic writer and you have potential, but your work needs to be a little more raw.

Hi Kathy,

Thanks for commenting on my writing. I don't get a lot of comments on that part of the site (mainly because I get very few hits on that part of the site.) Yes, you're right that I probably made my life seem perfect. Of course, my life currently IS pretty much perfect. I am considering sending you the writings I have done that I don't post on the site, but I'll spare you the horror. I don't mean that sarcastically either. It truly is a horror story. The story of my younger years is pretty bad and since I have family members that visit that site, I just can't bring myself to mention any of the bad things that have happened in my life on the site for fear that people will actually read it.

I started looking through my personal diary to find something to send to you that would help you see the truth, but I don't know. Some of it is pretty bad stuff. There's plenty of rape and abuse, drug abuse, a murder, a kidnapping, homelessness, and much more. It's just too much to talk about, especially to someone I just met. If you want to read any of those stories, you'll have to let me know. I'm not going to just send them to you without notice.

Anyway, what were you reading? The Ramblings section from my website, or my actual blog? You said blog, but if you had read the whole thing, there are some personal things discussed there. When you say I make my life seem perfect, I can only guess you are talking about the money issue and maybe me bragging on my husband who treats me well. It might be a bit overboard on the bragging, but my life has sucked in a MAJOR way up until the last few years so when good things happen I want to shout it to the world.

Thanks for the compliment on my writing. I've considered writing an auto-biographical horror story of my life, but like I said, I don't want my family to know about all the horrible things that have happened, so unless I use a pen name, that won't happen, at least not while my parents are still alive.

Thanks for visiting my site! I hope you'll come back again sometime soon. There is a lot of stuff on there (like free spells) that don't have too much to do with my ego. ;) Oh yeah, what were the "warning signs" you were talking about? Warning signs for what?

Blessings,
Heather
