Drop by my personal blog on any given day and you'll probably see what I mean. I have often referred to blogging as an act of public mental masturbation. Which may or may not be appropriate for the reflection section of my essay, but what the heck - it's fun to say.<br><br>Imitation: Hmmmm. Fake it till you make it. This is a harder one for me to answer. There have been people who I've WANTED to emulate, but it never goes well for me. Perhaps I'm too self-centered to imitate. And we're right back to reflection...<br><br>Experience: Oh yeah. That one. I have learned (the hard way) that we all metabolize things a little differently. I have learned (the hard way) not to judge a book by it's cover. I have learned (the hard way) that I can only control myself, not those around me. I have learned that I am fallible and that others are too and that if I expect my flaws to be accepted I must accept theirs as well. I have learned that things are not always - are rarely, to be more accurate - fair. I'm in the process of learning to roll with that.<br><br>Lady T.
