You Guys Are Funny!!!
Wow!
I wasn’t prepared for the reaction and responses this blog generated. As always, I truly appreciate the comments – I read each and every one.
And now that the suicide watch is off, please return my shoe strings, belts and scarves, I really appreciated the intervention – it was good to see you guys. And the one’s who didn’t make the intervention, I hope you aren’t planning a nice rubber room vacation for me.
I say this to say, I am ok. I am sorry most of you read my blog and got a depressed and sad Toinetta from it. I am so way not sad. I guess quoting from a book with “suicide” in the title kinda gives the impression of sadness, but it’s so not that – “Colored Girls…”is so empowering and it is my bible – I’ve been reading and quoting it since 7th grade.
Writing “No More…” was very cathartic for me. I tend to mull and reflect on things and this particular topic was something a friend and I had discussed ad nauseum and we were both left with the same befuddled feelings and thoughts. I took the time to try and work through those thoughts and feelings and I shared them with you.
I’ve asked some to read the blog twice because I don’t think the true tone is being projected. I read it and I got my confusion and angst and befuddlement, but then, I wrote it so I know the tone. Read it with a little more attitude – trust me, you’ll get that a sista ain’t sad at all, at least not for me.
And those who commented on me needing a 12-Step program, a therapist and to learn to like myself, please know I am way too narcissistic to not like myself. I am truly my best friend and I do no wrong in my eyes. I am all I have and I take very good care of me. However, thank you for the advice. And the last time I went to a therapist, he told me I needed another job because I was bored.
Now, on to what I really want to talk about…
2008 is upon us and I’ve been mulling and reflecting on the direction of the BBWC.
When I started this blog in February, I was angry and bitter and turned off to dating. Those who have been with me from the beginning, have read my highs and lows of dating and dealing with the opposite sex. A lot of my ideas come from conversations I have with friends – male and female. Some of my ideas come from situations in my life and in my head.
Well, as the year wore on, I found I was leaving bitterness in someone else’s cup and not so much in my own. And my being less bitter brings a new flavor to the blog. I don’t date as much as I used to and I’ve settled into a happy place in my life. So I am at an impasse on what direction the BBWC should take in 2008.
I’ve spent a nice amount of energy reading other blogs and getting a feel of the pulse of the blogsphere. I am not overly political, however, I am extremely passionate about some things.
I want the BBWC to be a fun blog where you don’t have to do so much thinking but you can still get something out of reading my entries.
If you have any suggestions or ideas on what you’d like more of from the BBWC – I like the name so I am not changing that – please feel free to contact me via the blog or if you know me, call me or email me.
Thanks for your continued support. I hope I can continue to keep your interest as I journey though life.
Peace and Blessings….
