It'...What's with all this traveling, girls? It's not fair, I want to go somewhere!<br><br>I love what you've written. I regularly vacation with my mom and kids, and sometimes it feels so tight like I can't breathe. Mom and I generally get along quite well, but she's an outie to my innie, and sometimes doesn't get that I need solitude to write and ponder. It's usually ok, but I know what you mean. I'm told I'm being antisocial...when I'm not, I'm just being social with myself. It's important to have time for deep internal conversations, because if we don't know ourselves, we can't relate to anything else in a healthy way.<br><br>I am sure that I know nothing about being an outie...I have tried asking my husband, but he says he's "just not that deep"...I think everyone has deep...so why the disparity between the two?Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01067954787472463337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879615387850345622.post-19514514107190765852009-06-03T09:25:21.399+10:002009-06-03T09:25:21.399+10:00Kel - oh, there's the whiff of uncanned apple ...Kel - oh, there's the whiff of uncanned apple about you, sunshine :) It's so nice to be able to be amongst family members with a more secure sort of anchor that you are who you are and they must accommodate that, just as you accommodate them. Why does it take so long to gain maturity??<br><br>Barbara - yes, I would be feeling the same as you about privacy, living in the same house. When my brother was staying here I got really territorial (I resisted urinating on the walls, though). Happy flying. Eight days to go :)<br><br>Erin - ahhh, ye olde "I'm just not that deep" chestnut. I spent years telling my ex he was deeper than he thought and he finally conceded I was right (which I always am, don't you know). It's just easier to access how deep we all flow when you spend some time sitting in that space.<br><br>I love how you described it, "being social with myself". Nice :)Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01122659239039900398noreply@blogger.com
