One can only get a sense of a person through media such as blogger (well, that is if the person is honest as well), the only way to really get to know someone is real life interaction.<br /><br />Yet, there are people that seems to think that conclusions can be drawn on actually quite subjective, limited information.<br />Which I suppose is also okay - IF I do not have to be recipient of such conclusions...<br /><br />Lots of hugs<br /><br />RavenRaven Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12845667798600423591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3619105178486223409.post-71975993884577859362011-05-10T16:23:12.592+01:002011-05-10T16:23:12.592+01:00You can tell some things about people, how they us...You can tell some things about people, how they use words gives away a lot - mostly between the lines.

However revealing is your blog, you're right, we can never really know all of you and your circumstances. I typically give people the benefit of the doubt when they give unsolicited advice--people usually mean well.

As your friends we want you to be happy and some may express concerns.<br /><br />None of us really know what happens behind the closed doors, nor should we. If you find happiness and contentment, then that, as your friends makes us happy. If not, as Pink said, we're here for you.<br /><br />btw, I love that 1st photo :)ddnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3619105178486223409.post-71958062887469549622011-05-08T21:21:29.435+01:002011-05-08T21:21:29.435+01:00No one ever gets the full picture of someones life...No one ever gets the full picture of someones life from the bits and snippets that we get from the internet.

Today is an exception because of your exceptional post.<br /><br />Your words reach deep within me, perhaps due to my own personal experiences. For that reason, I'm leaving this comment.<br /><br />You express yourself in a pure manner that reflects the way my Pink writes. It's clear to me that your inspiration is connected to someone you truly care for.<br /><br />Pink and I have a mutually rewarding relationship and I would defend it against those who make judgmental comments against us.<br /><br />To those who would believe that their opinion is more important than our own, I offer the gospel of John, chapter 8:<br />7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”Dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3619105178486223409.post-87593829196537424752011-05-08T17:04:31.273+01:002011-05-08T17:04:31.273+01:00Nick has lived some difficult years... perhaps a n...Nick has lived some difficult years... perhaps a new life with a new love will help polish off some of his sharper edges...<br /><br />I truly truly hope that you can make this work for both your sakes!<br /><br />FaustoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3619105178486223409.post-26921243566654644902011-05-08T16:37:14.986+01:002011-05-08T16:37:14.986+01:00My duty as a friend is to be around for my friends...My duty as a friend is to be around for my friends when they need me. Although I occasionally open my mouth and say things that they do not want to hear (also a duty, I think), after I have spoken my mind, I remain. <br /><br />What you and Uncle Nick have, like what we all have, is multi-dimensional and cannot be expressed in full on a blog. We do not see you in your together moments. We do not know all of the reasons you have chosen each other.<br /><br />What I do know is this: you are a smart, intuitive and beautiful person. I support your choices and respect your decisions. If those choices, whether they be professional or personal, end up hurting you, I am here. <br /><br />Hugs. You have my support, Raven.Pinkhttp://thepinkreport.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
