Now. Ok. So either I'm going to have to get off line, or you're going to have to stop saying things that appeal to me so much that I feel compelled to answer and expand on them right away. I fear I am going to really come out as a freaky stalker girl if I keep on. But everything you just said? I couldn't keep quiet about it.
First of all, there's the whole not being strong enough to really send everything flying and try what you really want to try. I've had fantasies of leaving everything behind and just start taking risks ever since I was old enough to know I wanted to be adventurous. I even entertained the idea of trying to find a way to teach in the US instead of France, but... it's scary and I'm a wimp. Plus, I never believed I really had it in me. Tears me apart, though.
That said, don't want to bore you even more than necessary with comments about my life. Just yeah, I can relate to you on a couple of levels, and that's one. :-)
The world needs to be okay with needing and giving hugs and being honest when it counts. So, thank you for your forthrightness and faith.
Well, you know, I agree and don't see why people can't see that as well. There's nothing wrong with being honest and open about things. You put yourself out there and yeah, I can be honest and say "I don't know you so I can't say yeah, you're beautiful and clever and all that"... but I still admire your faith and willingness to put yourself out there. And if I see that you need support and hugs, why not give them? It's not going to do me any harm, and sometimes, it does help a little, so... They might only be virtual hugs, but still... it's all I can offer and I think it's already a little something.
Less seriously. I am sooo with you about Lance. The only things we've ever heard about *nsync over here were the whole Britney/Justin thing, and Lance's space trip fiasco. So as soon as my friends discovered my "shameful" love of the boys, they kept making fun of Lance. And I just can't stand that. I mean, obviously, he's entirely successful, very wealthy and all that, but... he's also the ugly duckling who tries and repeatedly breaks his beak on the dirt. Poor thing. I think it's mainly jealousy on the part of those who mock. Because hey, here's someone you'd probably sell your mom to be/meet/whatever, and yet, you know you'll never get there so you're jealous... when that same person falls, in full view of everyone, you're bound to be gleeful. Kick someone while they're down, especially if you won't admit you still envy what they have.
And I agree with you, he's a smart, funny and savvy boy, and what people probably envy the most about him is his willingness to try, even if it means being ridiculed. I'd like to see even one of those ill-talking people try to reach their dreams at the risk of falling.
And yeah, I love him. Probably not the most healthy crush for a 28 year old French girl, but who cares. *snuggles Lance*
Ok, I'll go, now. Sleep or watch OZ or something, try and keep from spamming your lj so much, lol. ;-)
