I really enjoy your blog, by the way. It reminds me of who I used to be when I was young. (I’m 32, mother of 4 now.)

And I also love the rip and sew one. Very clever and meaningful. Moral of the story…..mothers ALWAYS know best! lol. :-)

Sadly, in our culture that’s just about true. With all these kids who have “boyfriends” and “girlfriends” at age nine.
*sigh*

And it captures some of the angst that writers/artists live with, without being too dark.

People make up too much drama in their lives, and I think it’s because they watch too much MTV and read Nicholas Sparks books. I don’t understand the college students around me who have to create so much drama in their lives and in everyone else’s lives!

I admit, I used to devour the Christian romance novels, partially because there are few Christian novels that aren’t romance ones, and partially because I did enjoy them. However, I realized they were making me wish for something I didn’t have, and didn’t need to have, so I banned myself from them for several months, and it largely broke my dependence. Now, I’ll read one occasionally, but it depends on the author and the book (and, of course, I don’t have time when I’m at college). But I have still never gotten into Karen Kingsbury…I don’t think I’d be able to read that.

I am also realizing that God has planned out an adventure for me, and He has so many better things in store than the “manufactured” drama! For example, I’m spending this summer in Bulgaria for a missions internship, and I know that will be a better adventure (probably including a little real-life drama) than any novel! :)

I love reading your posts. I had a drama-free romance and it was great. I agree with the above comment that husbands solve everything… for a while, and then reality sets in again! Ditto to the isolation and need-of-girlfriends thing. Husbands are great though :)

And the thing of it is–the more “wild ocean” life we live the more real lifewide drama we have. Therefore the “manufactured drama” becomes even more petty and laughable.
