Ponderings

Woman in Despair Royalty Free Stock Vector Art Illustration


I don't usually blog about personal stuff on my blog because I like to keep my personal life and drama away from public view.

But this is sorta book related kinda so I guess it's ok.

I get mad in books when a character tries to tell how they feel and nobody will listen to them.

I get mad when the character is made to feel like they are all alone.

I get mad when a character is told they are over-dramatic and emotional.

I get mad when a character is constantly hurt by over and over again by someone they love who refuses to change.

I get mad at characters who allow themselves to stay in this situation.

Should I get mad at myself?

    First of all, I love you.

    Your feelings are always valid. I am so sorry you are hurting right now and I wish I was on the other side of the country so I could be there for you, but you can always call me, you know that right?

    Wow. At some point questions bounce back to us. Your question got me thinking also. I can't really speak for people who are in the same situation, the situation wherein they chose to stay. We all have our own reasons. I think that we pretty know our strengths and limitations and they're the reason why we keep hanging on and why we are letting go. It's just a matter of knowing what you want and knowing what you can do and until when you can do it.

    Unlike characters in books you always have the power to change your story. If you could write them out that situation, how would you do it?

    Yes.

    Be mad enough to take a good hard look at your present and think carefully about your future. Think of all those book situations that have angered you, and do what you wish they would have done. With all that said, the first few years of marriage are the hardest, but as much as you love your husband, you have to always make sure you love yourself a little more. I hope everything works out for you.

US and Canada addresses only (No PO Boxes). Good luck! PLEASE LEAVE A WAY FO R ME TO CONTACT YOU!!!! ENTRIES WITHOUT CONTACT INFO WILL NOT BE ENTERED. I was more than pleasantly surprised and shocked while reading this book. I have the first three books of the Twilight series and I will admit that I am not really a fan of them. The writing in those books is not very well done, plus I have problems with the storyline and the characters in general. Plus with all the hype surrounding them, it just makes the reading seem more tedious. Therefore I approached The Host with rather low expectations and prepared myself for another Twilight except with aliens. Boy was I in for a shocker. When I started reading, I was amazed at how I got sucked into the book. I really didn't expect to, be...

It's here! Today is my 3 year blogiversary! (Never mind tha t the first entry is marked on 9/20, I had written that post the day after and then backdated it) . I can't believe that I'm still here and blogging away! As al ways, the reason why I started blogging was thanks to Camy Tang's blog which inspired m e to write my own blog. My main goal was to blog about the books I read because I figured I'd like others to know about the good books that were ou t there . I honestly can't believe that it's lasted this long and I hope to keep going strong. I've met so many new friends in the past year alone and I've even gotten to meet several in person and I'm going to meet more next week at the National Book Festival! I'd also like to say thank you to those who nominated me for Best Cultural Review Blog for the 2009 BBAW Awards. It's truly been an honor that you considered me for that award and even more awesome that I made the shortlist...
