It has been far too long since I have come to check your journal here, I cannot believe I missed this story. It’s wonderfully written, and I imagine we all feel this at some point in our lives.

I used to be different, I didn’t care what others thought. Then I liked a boy who was just like everyone else and I tried to blend in, to be like him so he might also take an interest in me. Eventually we ended up together and it was the biggest mistake I have ever made in my life, allowing myself to fall into such traps, when it turned out he was abusive. I lost myself. When it ended, I cut all my long blonde hair off, dyed what remained of it blue-black, wore all black, and talked to no-one.

It’s almost four years on now, and I’m slowly starting to find myself again – I started about a year ago now. It’s been a frightening journey, and I’m still so confused at times – but I know I’ll get there, and reading this has helped.

Thank you ♥

I really loved the metaphor, I found it brilliant..all my life I was just the opposite, I mean, sometimes I was saddened because of I ever have been different in many ways that that made me feel alone a lot of times…
Nowadays, I knew more people like me, I’m not alone, but… sometimes I’d like to be invisible for the wrong people…if you understand what I mean…
You just show me the dark side of being invisible by ignoring myself.
Thank you. Best regards. A Spanish Reader

Thank you. It is my problem at the moment that i am full of ideas and i know so much and i feel i could be so much more, but i´m afraid to show it more and i miss the time when i was younger and everything was much more simple, but maybe it is just one point in growing-up, but i still have to deal with it.
Happy new year to you!

Very beautiful and moving story. I have a feeling many women share a similar one from their past…

I have no words. This is just so beautiful. Personal too. Well, to me anyways; though I doubt you’d never admit which bits relate to you and which don’t *pokes* :P

I hadn’t thought of it that way. I appreciate the insight.

Thank you. There’s always room for growth.
