Maybe that's how I start paying more attention to the facts.Aerinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11142518259771067132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738167594002469989.post-83658794501467454682008-12-08T05:29:00.000-08:002008-12-08T05:29:00.000-08:00I am so glad that I didn't get married at a yo...I am so glad that I didn't get married at a young age. I had a 4 year TOUGH relationship with someone that helped fight out my old family issues. My husband was completely opposite in every way, which most likely also stems from reacting to my childhood. Everyone has issues & his are completely foreign to me. :) <BR/><BR/>I definitely know what this is like: "I put a lot of weight on my intuition and my feelings. Sometimes I'm a "don't let the facts get in the way" type of person, to a fault." It is part of the Mormon culture. In a way I am glad, but I also have to remind myself to be more logical at times.Freckle Face Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13324960438835000817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738167594002469989.post-74924240748393404772008-12-06T09:26:00.000-08:002008-12-06T09:26:00.000-08:00Actually, I'm not sure that realizing that stuff s...Actually, I'm not sure that realizing that stuff saves you from making bad decisions. I knew perfectly well what some of the problems in my family were, and I went out and made exactly the same dumb decisions I swore I wouldn't.<BR/><BR/>Shortly after I moved out here, I read a novel by Pam Houston and wrote down this line, which still cracks me up: "It's my feeling that when somebody says, 'It feels like I've known you all my life,' what they really mean is, 'This dynamic we are creating here is similar to one in my unhappy childhood.'"laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05893550834832658123noreply@blogger.com
