I'm sorry I fart too often in front of you.
I'm sorry I don't see you more often.

I don't have much to say in response, these "sorry" posts are all so powerful. Just wanted you to know I was reading x
ReplyDeleteThanks Louisa. They're a pretty amazing collection of posts.
DeleteSome unexpected giggles (the farts and the boasting) and much intensity. So glad you shared your sorries.
ReplyDeleteThe "conceived with ease" hit a spot, cos I know how hard I try to not resent people who concieve easily, not to let them see my envy and frustration because it's not their fault I have problems. I am sorry others haven't been as courteous.
All I am sorry for ;)
DeleteI think it's hard for both parties when conceiving is so easy. I know I felt guilty and put off telling certain people when I fell pregnant because I knew they were trying so hard and I didn't have to. It's hard situations but important to not let it interfere with friendships.
True love is being able to fart in front of someone. How do I know that? Because I married the only guy whom I've ever done that in front of. And thankfully didn't marry the guy who I was too nervous to even let think I used the toilet - EVRER Cue UTI's all the bloody time because I was too embarrassed to pee.
ReplyDeleteGreat post - love it!
Kel I so know what you mean! I've had similar experiences, not fun at all. It's funny how something everyone does and is natural is so taboo!
DeleteGreat post, thanks for sharing! :)
