Tattered Seams

I have a theory that behind every confident person is a series of mishaps that noone ever sees. People always view me as a confident person who has it all together, but I know that I am no different than them. Why Tattered Seams? Tattered Seams....the kind at the bottom of your shirt or pants that you know should try to fix so that you can look so put together on the outside... to hide how not put together you are in the inside.

My Life As A Soap Opera

I created a new campaign for my life.

** I do not live in a soap opera **

I've had other campaigns. My senior year of college I had "Mel's Gone Wild!" It was very successful.

But yesterday, I decided I was tired of me, and others, making a soap opera of my life. For a while, I participated in whether or not people gossiped about me, or me gossiping about me... and who knows what about my secrets. But it recently went too far.

As part of my new campaign, I'm not even going to explain how the soap opera went too far.

In fact, I don't even have the patience to make sure this posting makes sense. Only to say, I have nothing about my life to be ashamed of, so therefore, no more secrets, no more soap opera.

Proposed Visit: an email

This morning, I received this email:

Hello Melissa
It is a long time since we heard anything about you. Last saw you at your gtrandma's funeral.
You send well, happy and successful from your letter.
We would love to see you when you visit Scotland. In Scottish miles Ardfern is'just down the road' from here.
The weekend which suits us best is the weekend of December !st. We can accommodate you if you wish, or meet you in Ardfern or Oban, whatever fits in with your arrangements. It is a fair drive from Ardfern here but you will be most welcome to stay if it suits you.
Sorry about the delay in replying. I have been away on a painting week. It was to work in acrylics but the weather was much better suited to watercolour - really depressing - rained all the time. Bob has not entered the technical age as yet and missed your letter in the stack of mail.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Love from us both - June and Bob.

I have no idea who these people are and I never wrote them a letter!

Oh well......

      "Go into yourself. Find out the reason that commands you to write; see whether it has spread its roots into the very depths of your heart; confess to yourself whether you would to die if you were forbidden to write. This most of all: ask yourself in the most silent hour of your night: must I write?" -Rainer Maria Rilke
