Good morning sunshine!
It's been a long time since I've made a post that works. But I suppose, Tuesday is another day, just like all the rest, so that's a good time to try again. So, as I'm spending my very early morning, which is normally filled by sleeping like all other normal people, here at work, I do my morning duty of reading the newspaper and drinking my coffee. I know, taxing work that it is, eh?
Anyway, I turn to the health section and see a friendly face from the past, an old high school mate who I hadn't really thought about in ages. Well, maybe that's a lie, I actually did get out the ol'yearbook a few weeks ago when I decided to reminisce about people I went to high school with and laugh at how important we all thought we were, each in our own worlds with our cliques...I digress. Back to the point ~ So I start to read about Becky and how she's dealing and healing with an eating disorder that had pretty much turned her life upside down. It just struck me as odd in a way. Not that she had this issue to deal with in her life, everyone has their own challenges, but the fact that there she was, big picture and long article on about a very personal aspect of her life, just out there for other people to read, judge, hopefully learn from, whatever. I would say that that's a pretty brave thing to do. I certainly couldn't imagine putting my secrets, even one's I've dealt with, out there for all of the Island to read, even if I thought it could help other people deal with their problems.
Anyway, kudos to her, putting yourself out there and being exposed to the criticism and judgment of others is a hard thing to do.
Tuesday, February 8
