MPD

You know those people you hear about who are happily married with children in one area of suburban America, but they have another family on the other side of the country and they split their time between the two and call it business travel? Why do I feel like that? I don't live in New York City. I don't even go there for business. I haven't been there since 1997 (or so). And yet somehow I feel like I'm being deceptive, not sharing this blog with my inner circle. It's not like my siblings and my closest friends are completely ignorant of my quandary. We just don't generally talk about it.

It also makes me wonder, when you get tight with someone, do you tell them all about your secret, shameful side? Do you want to know about theirs, or would it just be better to not go there?

  1. I have often made comment with my outside voice that this type of person is just plain selfish...but my inside voice I think has at times been quite envious of those people. To have two completely different lives, to live and act so completely innocent to one way of life while all the while living and exhisting in such opposition to that life...it makes me really wonder why more people don't do it! Love the read...excited for more! :)
