Comments on: Falling In Love With Austin… All Over Again http://itsnotahickie.com/2009/10/20/falling-in-love-with-austin-all-over-again/ The sporadic and ill-tempered volumes of a social media junkie/ex-amateur violinist/on-and-off-again perfectionist Fri, 19 Aug 2011 21:17:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Jillian http://itsnotahickie.com/2009/10/20/falling-in-love-with-austin-all-over-again/#comment-631 Fri, 23 Oct 2009 02:37:02 +0000 http://jillianfortin.com/?p=291#comment-631 Thank you for the kind words, Jess! Those “steps back” are so important, aren’t they? They really put things into perspective. I am happy to have discovered the “cracks,” and am excited about all the things I will learn as I fill them.

I too have been going through this experience, except my body had to throw up a serious red flag for me to even take notice. I had been ignoring the voice of my inner self for quite some time and filling in those “cracks” with temporary things that eventually wore away. i just kept drowning myself with more stuff to do thinking if I just kept busy it would get better. When I finally took a step back it was really hard to look at those “cracks”. I’m not perfect, and instead of being scared to say it I am now pretty proud of it.

Hugs!
Jess

And you’re ridiculous with that “hope you remember me” crap; who could ever forget Trevor Jones?!

Thanks for the love and support. I’ll certainly send some your way as well. I’d love to hear more about the things you’re learning and enacting. Get at me!

We all have cracks in ourselves, someone once told me that’s what makes each of us interesting. Perfection is boring! Seeing how we change and how the people around us change throughout our lives is what makes the journey worthwhile.

We all need some “me-time”. You can give something your all but you do have to step back from time-to-time to recharge, otherwise you’re not giving much..at all.

Keep up the awesome work!
