Some big event was happening in the world, I would be glued to my television waiting for updates. I sought out information, I watched everything . . . I wanted to know more. Wanted to see more.<br /><br />But with the birth of my children, things changed. The world felt smaller. The television was now capable of bringing the world's tragedies into my room and also? Into my heart. I had difficulty letting things go.<br /><br />And after 9/11?<br /><br />Sigh.<br /><br />I just stopped watching the news. The visuals were too much for me. I have not watched the news since then.<br /><br />I read the news. I read a LOT.<br /><br />But I cannot handle the visuals.<br /><br />You said many other things of value in this post . . . but that one thing struck me and connected. The inability to handle visuals.<br /><br />Also?<br /><br />When those horrific TV lengthy commercials come on about starving children and homeless pets?<br /><br />I have to leave the room.<br /><br />Motherhood has left me too vulnerable to the pain of the world.<br /><br />Excellent post, you.<br /><br />KrisKrishttp://www.prettyalltrue.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-741428981658989820.post-52626916851625690102011-03-30T13:36:35.414-04:002011-03-30T13:36:35.414-04:00I TOTALLY get the whole "I get really worked ...I TOTALLY get the whole "I get really worked up over the littlest things (ugly cry) and super stoked about the idea of other (more simple) things like the prospective of making memories with my fam on a vaca" idea - I'm the exact same way - but I also TOTALLY get that it's not a manic-depressive sort of thing... it's just, well, being a woman I guess. :) Great post (even though I haven't seen Inception yet... now I will!) :)Five Arrows Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12205937427532122616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-741428981658989820.post-44703535330984429392011-03-29T15:54:09.586-04:002011-03-29T15:54:09.586-04:00Dude you are awesome.
