Do I detect some bitterness project...Dear Smilecat,<br />Do I detect some bitterness projected onto me as a woman? Perhaps, you, too have been hurt and lost. My love lost was a platonic thing and not a question of 'virginity'...and has nothing to do with it. But you are right that sometimes we end up hurting others the way we have been hurt. The worst hurt of all is the hurt we place on ourselves...the hurt that brings experience. <br /><br />PS I think you are overrating 'virginity'...Purple Cowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11016727639028322093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3284462997299066462.post-17240278295436704512010-03-22T05:52:00.648-07:002010-03-22T05:52:00.648-07:00.....the first time you was tricked by someone who........the first time you was tricked by someone who said “I love you!” and then promised you the moon and the stars? or maybe, he was tricked by you, why you already had given your virginity to another man, and the words “I love you!” was for you only ~Dust in the wind~?<br /><br />smilecatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3284462997299066462.post-28976543592390559332010-03-09T21:55:15.695-08:002010-03-09T21:55:15.695-08:00Thank you for your commiserations, but I really do...Thank you for your commiserations, but I really don't think my losses are so special...they are just those little losses that we all suffer on the way to growth and self-actualisation... Personally, I try not to make the same mistake twice, but then again, that is a double-edged sword cause it doesn't leave much room for second chances. Take care...sorry for your losses also, but congratulations for your hard-earned gains. And THANKS for hearing me and for your moving responses.

You've made me think about the economics in Greece, which I confess I've never done. Smoking in Greece, which I've never done. You've also had me pondering philospophical issues which I have done, but you've had me come at it from a new perspective. Today, for the first time, you opened your heart and you made me cry. In other words, this was really beautiful. I couldn't have said it any better. I agree on every point. You can't unring the bell.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3284462997299066462.post-44000090877172731562010-03-09T10:47:03.732-08:002010-03-09T10:47:03.732-08:00Wow Mary, seems like life has been hard on you . ....Wow Mary, seems like life has been hard on you . . I can relate, but I chose to forgive and it made all the difference. It easy to hold on to things that happen to us, but what good does it do, it only hurts us in the long run. We feel it's a way of protecting ourselves, but it really only controls us and holds us in bondage. It hardens are heart and we control every emotion that comes towards us and sometimes because our hearts are harden we miss things . . things that might be very special, very important. It's easy to look at the negative, but I would rather look at the positive.

However, it is these kinds of losses that make up the adults we are. You are now an insightful, intelligent, thoughtful young woman, who without those loses may not be able to stand here today and tell her story.<br />Thank you for sharing your loss, and know that by shining just a little light on them today - the secrets and hurts are a little more dissipated than they were yesterday.LJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11458031692609491672noreply@blogger.com
