Maybe it's ghosts of my past, maybe it's more nature than nurture, maybe it's because I can't trust myself. <br /><br />It's a hard way to live...damaging to those around me I'm sure...maybe my greatest vice. <br /><br />Glad I read this today...now. I needed it...and you are a person of great "worth-a magnificent human being." I wish I could believe that about myself...still have some time...I hope.Jeff Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09191820705109719146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273998760028140856.post-82154152087105513532010-05-18T10:32:44.261-06:002010-05-18T10:32:44.261-06:00LG

Experience will teach us at some point that we can't really trust anyone, and that's a lesson some people unfortunately learn earlier and with more damage than others. I was like that once. But then I realized that if I couldn't trust, then I couldn't love. And if I couldn't love, I couldn't be loved. <br /><br />That was a great post, Louise.Billy Coffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988347213957444145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273998760028140856.post-79610755750631530882010-05-18T08:41:03.332-06:002010-05-18T08:41:03.332-06:00Oh, those early voices how powerfully their soft w...Oh, those early voices how powerfully their soft whisperings shape us.
