Thanks for stopping by, pieceofpie. I last heard the word “trollop” when I was about eight or nine, and I’m 31 now…and I agree – we can accept what other folks paint onto us or not.

it is a blessing to know… we have only ourselves who paint the picture in the mirror regardless of stains of mistakes or the purity of truth…. btw trollop hadn’t heard that in ages..

Amen! Image is changeable, manipulable, and able to be misinterpreted beyond belief.

The two extremes never cease to baffle me. Is anyone allowed to just be? Just be who they are?
Gray comes in so many amazing tints and shades and truthfully when it comes right down to it,that is really where we all are no matter what we try to portray to the world. Intention and what lies in the heart are the true measures of a person in my opinion. I agree with you ladies wholeheartedly.

From my greyscale territory perspective, I couldn’t agree more. Extremes of anything are unhealthy for body and spirit.

Exactly. And the worst thing is that if you’re anything short of a virgin in the eyes of some, you’re a whore. Too much black and white.

i would like to think as a society we are moving away from the virginal stereotype for women,, i think it is such a stumbling block,, and wish that we could all live as nature intended us,, instead as how man has decided it should be….
