Wednesday, April 26 | As The World Reflects CONTINUING with our series of reader-contributed entries, we have four additional short essays for you. Thanks to everyone who has been sending in their heartfelt contribution to this discussion. Here are samples from today's four selections: Last night I invited a guy I've been involved with over for dinner. Somehow over dinner we got into a fight about astrology. "It's too simple," he said. I gave him a dirty look to which he responded, "I mean, it's too complex." I suddenly got not horny at all. = I spent alot of time trying to date bad boys. I also heard alot of justification from them and from the world at large as to why they weren't really kind, loving people or how whatever abuse they were doling out was some code meaning they loved me. I was guilty of all manner of badness myself, I just contained alot of it. Maybe my abuse was socially acceptable. = As I read your blog about gender fears, I'd been going through a classic version of my own relationship pain, as a result of a miscommunication with a man. Because, I miscommunicate with myself, or have been unable to decipher the messages of my own psyche and have been actually afraid of it, of myself- like it is out there. = Instead of growing with me, I left him behind. One more unannounced badly timed visit from his family and I would have said things better left unsaid. Instead of trying to change and grow, and to talk to his family, he buried his proverbial head in the sand and hoped things would go away. Needless to say, they didn't, and our relationship was never the same again. http://www.planetwaves.net/contents/world_returns2.html
