Sometimes love unearned is the best love of all. I am sure you have given love many times without it being 'earned' so why not allow yourself the same luxury as that which you have given I say!
Posted by AdventureGirl at March 17, 2005 11:52 AMWhat does it take for you to feel you have “earned” love? What does it take for someone to earn your love? I want you to know that reading your entries have inspired me to write again. I have been on a two year hiatus following the death of my grandma, and after being captured in your entries something has come alive again for me that has inspired me to write. The point is, if you are trying to see how you 'give back', then please take to heart that you have given back to me through your written word. Thank you.
Posted by Jen at March 17, 2005 12:13 PMGod I love your writing. I'm jealous :P :)
Posted by lisa at March 17, 2005 12:48 PMThat was really beautiful and really sad at the same time. I always have an eternal debate within myself as to whether or not I am lovable or if I can truly love. It's a really tricky thing because the hardest thing to do really is to allow yourself to be loved.

Posted by Island Girl at March 18, 2005 03:04 PMDoing some procrastinating/online shopping and noticed that JCrew's spring collection includes a t-shirt that looks remarkably like yours, sans fish: http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/product.jhtml?id=prod66899761&catId=cat69808
Pretty funny. JCrew jumped on the "This Fish" bandwagon.
The JCREW shirt is the most random shirt I have ever seen. What a strange looking bicycle. Are the wheels supposed to outline the...dare I say it...breasts?
Weird.
Fish's is much cuter.

Posted by Jen at March 18, 2005 04:23 PMLovely post. Pun intended.
The pushme/pullyou nature of people and their quirks facinates me. Every day I have to remind myself that I'm not really a complete hypocrite. Not only does how I feel about things change but people's habits are mutable too. Keeps life interesting.
Posted by Coelecanth at March 18, 2005 05:51 PMBravo, nuff said.
Posted by KJB at March 18, 2005 06:41 PMWell put KJB! Bravo is right. Keep on writing. I truly enjoy reading this.
