I think you have to be a certainly personality type to fit comfortably into 'the fold' and I'm not one of them. I am happy, but I still feel lost and alone because my Church friends don't understand my life choices, and my non-Church friends don't understand my Gospel background. It sucks.~ fiona j harding ~https://www.blogger.com/profile/06306697241320049121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398309814821874131.post-43435087025344529262011-03-26T19:42:39.871-04:002011-03-26T19:42:39.871-04:00I hear you.

The ones who got out and did stuff had such a different personality than I, and the ones more like me were at home and depressed. I couldn't do either.<br /><br />I've been finding my role models in children's adventure books. 12 year old heriones kick ass!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398309814821874131.post-65168806668571802452011-03-21T15:19:47.559-04:002011-03-21T15:19:47.559-04:00I love this: "I don’t want them to see other ...I love this: "I don’t want them to see other options. I want them only to see options."<br /><br />I know what you mean about not having any models to follow. It's tough. And I've already got the kids, so I feel like I've gotta figure it out pretty damn quick so they get a decent model, because there aren't any in our extended family.<br /><br />I'm an introvert too who loves being alone but then gets lonely. I just have no patience for superficial relationships. I want deep or nothin'. I told my therapist a few weeks ago that I'd like a few more close friends. She told me I was going to have to cast a very wide net to find the right friends for me because I'm such a unique person... I'm choosing to take this as a compliment.Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08129509609170344883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398309814821874131.post-43807180499136270692011-03-21T12:13:33.154-04:002011-03-21T12:13:33.154-04:00Beautifully said.

I think it is so ironic that I felt like I was the odd man out when I was a kid because I did not live in a mormon community and now my kids are the odd men out because they are non-mormons living in a mormon community. Funny how life goes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
