Today I am trying out another new concept - a response blog. I am replying to a blog post by Danielle LaPorte. Here goes!
What's one dumb thing that you used to believe in?
Danielle says that she used to believe in this poetic, all-or-nothing approach to true love. I think I still believe in that, so I'm gonna have to go with believing in immortality. When I was growing up, I used to think that people had the same life as me. I grew up, blessedly, with both my grandmothers and no deaths in the family until I was in my teens. I kind of had this idea that you came into this world and left this world the same way, with the same people. So imagine my surprise when the elderly in my family started to pass! Where were they going? Seriously, I was SO not ready to leave yet! But of course, I learned pretty quickly that everyone has their time. And my grandparents dying before me was something to be thankful for, as other cultures are not so lucky.
On another note, thanks to everyone who responded on my Sunday reader feedback blog! It was great to hear that you like what you've been reading, and I got some cool new ideas about blog topics. As per the poll I posted, it seems you guys want to read about international news and nutrition in the upcoming week. Done and done ;
Until tomorrow!
Don't forget to comment if you like what you've read!
EDIT: Sorry! Apparently if I edit something Blogger reposts it... Oops!
