I’m not good at being fluffy

August 21, 2011 by Miranda Leave a Comment

I mean, I *AM* fluffy in that I’m soft in my middle. And thighs. And upper arms. And jowls. And I suppose I carry my fluff well.

But I’m not good at being fluffy here. On this blog.

When you don’t write regularly, people leave. But sometimes there’s a life happening outside the confines of the computer screen that has to be lived in order for there to be anything to write about. And more often than not the life that’s being lived is messy and uncertain and complicated.

I think that’s where I am right now. Sort of.

Drop your email into this box and I'll send you this post so you can read it when you're ready.

I’m in kind of a weird headspace right now. And rather than write fluff posts to keep something going up here, I’ve written nothing because I don’t know how to write what I want to write. I don’t know how to say what I need to say. And I can’t. Not yet at least.

So please hang on just a bit. I’ll write when and what I can.

But if I can’t, don’t hold it against me.

    Do just that friend. I did because my head and heart weren’t into this world. And you know what? It was glorious.
    The thing I found was that there are people who really love you and your words and it’s those people who will be waiting for you when you’re ready…those are the folks you want to hold onto tightly.
    Know I’m always here and always will be.
    I hope that all is ok. I’m here for you friend. And if you want me to put on the gold spandex pants to show my love for you or to just make you smile, I can make that happen ๐Ÿ˜‰
    Xoxo

    I really can’t stand “fluff” posts (I know exactly what you mean by that) and admire your honesty in not trying to produce them so that you have something to put “out there”. Say no to fluff!
