its funny how our elders shape us, i constantly see my mother in the way i act especially the older i get lol, its cool that you have found your farther, although i can see it being hard for him to take it all in after so long, but i still wish you all the best from it
I like you and i admire you more and more everyday. I appriciate your openness. I'm not one to judge and I love to learn about other people's histories, experiences and POV. When it comes to the internet I find it easy to share details of my life...sometimes I write things that I haven't even told my close friends. I don't why I find it cathartic to reveal myself to strangers, but I do.
Have you ever read Eleven Minutes by Paulo Coelho?
read the synopsis in the link..I think you might enjoy it. Personally i was deeply touched by it. Coelho is one of my favorite authors. this text is considerably sexier than anything he's ever written.
Wow Honey you are so beautiful... Yes physically but your mind and soul are amazing.
I hope you find what you are looking for with your father. It is always so difficult when hunting down the past. It is like tip toeing a fine line of finding what we are looking for and the truth. Some times we are lucky and find both. You do have an amazing story already. It will be interesting to see what this new chapter holds.
Thank you for sharing something so truly deep and personal. The ability to do that shows that you are strong and secure enough with yourself to be available to openness.
Sometimes only through despair do we find solace.
i'm adopted and i would be really interested to see how your "reunion" with your siblings goes...i have not gotten brave enough to seek out my biological parents yet, especially since my father died last year, i don't know that my mother would understand my motives. but during our move i found out new details about my adoption that i didn't know, i wonder sometimes....
PinkWhiskey beat me to it. I'm in much the same boat. Seeking out biological connections that don't have all the other connections of "family" can be a strange road. I have a feeling you'll find the way though. You always do. Thank you for sharing another interesting part of yourself.
That was a lot of very personal info.....I guess it's good that you feel confident and at peace with it, to publish it here on a semi public forum.
I know the accepted generalized term is "illegitimate", but I sure hope that you don't think of yourself that way or pigeon hole yourself with that term. You are one of the most "legitimate" people I know. That term will only serve to pull you down, if you let it.....cast it aside and refuse to accept it. The category you belong in, is determined by you and your thoughts and actions....not by the circumstances of your birth!
Whatever else you might want to say about your ethnic heritage, it did produce a strong and beautiful woman....who has a true heart, talent galore and a very definite purpose in this world.
Hope things go well with your family discoveries and re-connections.
PS....that photo is Classic Maxi.....loaded with class....
When it rains it pours, especially when pouring your heart out. In the land of omg and buy my prints, seeing a real insight into a person is refreshing (especially when surrounded by clarity and wisdom). Has the storm fueled or altered your productivity or creativity?
wow, this is an amazing story. it's always quite humbling to read something like this when I'm caught up in the little insignificant tidbits of bullshit in my life. thanks for sharing
One of your best picture. Classic. Wow talk about spilling your guts that was very gutsy no pun here, to reveals some of those things. I am too realizing that generation had lots of skeletons in the closet. Like in my life/family too, we couldn't make this stuff up.
