(I say 'our' because I have one too and suspect, as you do, that we are not alone.) Is she only there to distract us? Tempting us, pulling us from what we want the most, toward what we want in the moment? Does she feed unmet emotional needs, telling us that if we just TRY to placate her we'll be happy, but in reality, she's pulling us away from the things that give lasting and meaningful happiness? Or does she serve a higher purpose? Does she keep us on our toes, helping us to work harder, protect ourselves better, know who we are and what it takes to be our best selves?<BR/>And finally- can I ever completely choose my "Alex"? My Rachel road looks messy and unhappy and while I can't see me embracing her, I can't quite shake her off either. Part of me is very comfortable with her taunts and tuggings. Part of me loves her and wants her comfort and companionship.... even though I know she'd destroy me if I let her.Kimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09353058677893508208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2011967497565662223.post-12108874914347983722008-08-08T21:16:00.000-06:002008-08-08T21:16:00.000-06:00How ironic that I heard this exact story on AM Rad...How ironic that I heard this exact story on AM Radio today...i'd never heard it before, but found it quite interesting! It's something I will sit and marinate with for a time...but back to Rachel...Do you feel she "overtook" you when you became her (how did you put it...at least in your mind, or do you feel you allowed yourself to be overtaken?Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13553123604758674690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2011967497565662223.post-40877837287654044072008-08-08T21:15:00.000-06:002008-08-08T21:15:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13553123604758674690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2011967497565662223.post-35907694956296239482008-08-08T15:15:00.000-06:002008-08-08T15:15:00.000-06:00can either wolf ever be satiated?can either wolf ever be satiated?Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747890225733658282noreply@blogger.com
