THIS IS NOT MY IMAGINATION I heard your name in the breeze Carried and talked about by the trees And every footstep I walked The echoes me...
Should we always be totally blunt?
Sometimes you have to tell a little white lie to protect someone's feelings as to be totally frank and honest would hurt them badly. In time you can come back to the situation and take the time and counsel them. Certain situations don't always allow you the time to explain and it would be hurtful to be blunt. I always try and revisit the circulation and be tactfully honest though as its not a good idea to leave someone with false hope either, but to give good constructive criticism.
I loved fairytales beacause they always had happy endings
A time when as a child you believed anything was possible. I loved fairytales and always believed that miracles could happen. Whether it was because I was born an optimist I don't know or whether it is because of my spiritual beliefs that I believe anything can happen if you believe it it I don't know. I guess also reading fairytales was a way of escaping my life at that time, I didn't have a happy childhood and I could immerse myself in fairytales for they always had happy endings and this was one of my favourites. The heroines or princesses were always beautiful and I really was a late developer and an ugly duckling and I always wished I could be beautiful like them.
AND BE HONEST LOL!

Which moments in life do you wish you could do over?
Actually I don't wish to relive any aspects of my life. My beliefs lead to me to believe, everything has happened in my life for a good reason. It is only through experiences we learn and grow. I believe it's ok to make mistakes (well as long as you don't make the same ones over and over again) for that is how we learn, learning the consequences of what may and does happen when we get it wrong. It's only when you look back on your life objectively you see just how far you have come and why 'A' had to happen for 'B' to take place etc. So I have no wish to relive situations again. I may have some regrets, but they have taught me well and I think we all help teach one another and that is why I believe we are 'Here'
