But you know what, I think we're all so busy worrying about ourselves that we don't have time to think about those we're conversing with! :) I'm trying to relax and just be myself, but it's really hard to do when you want to fit in.

I often rewind conversations in my mind and feel anxious for now good reason. This has only started since I become a mum and now I feel bad that I have so many half conversations and forget to ask friends things that I meant to.<br /><br />And yep. That's why blogging is great!

Sometimes it's just that night, but sometimes I get caught in this big loop and it can last for days, weeks or even months if it REALLY doesn't sit right with me. I don't know why I do it either, it's not like it helps or changes anything. Reading seems to help a bit, it's a nice escape into someone else's story.Beehttp://fumblesandbumbles.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1074997366425469301.post-8753372703800067672011-11-06T06:29:40.370+10:002011-11-06T06:29:40.370+10:00You're not alone!

Someone wiser than me told me recently that it was like a form of grief, the bargaining stage, where you start to think, "Maybe I should have said that, done that, spoken to her, not stayed so long speaking to X..." "Maybe I should have said more, said less..." On and on, as if our pondering over it can change anything. <br /><br />I've also been told it's all about the illusion of control, trying to imagine what would have been a perfect way of behaving, when in reality how we appear to others is just as much about them, who they are and what they're going through, as it is about us.<br /><br />I hope you don't shut yourself up, Robyn. I've actually been out looking for bloggers who review books by contemporary Australian woman writers, only to stumble on a hold world of talented young women mothers out here, sharing your honesty, supporting and encouraging one another. It's a wonderful thing to see.<br /><br />If you - or Rhianna, or whoever might read this - happen to know of any Aussie book bloggers (of any kind) among your friends, I'd appreciate it if you could point me in their direction.<br /><br />Thanks for your post, and your honesty.<br />@ElizabethLhuedeElizabeth Lhuedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06214091063075645148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1074997366425469301.post-13666590312560325862011-11-05T23:34:04.851+10:002011-11-05T23:34:04.851+10:00I know exactly what you mean, only I don't wai...I know exactly what you mean, only I don't wait till bed before I start analyzing, I start the minute I am alone.Rhianna https://www.blogger.com/profile/08015224038142499324noreply@blogger.com
