Today at Sisterhood we talked about how there are things about us that we let people see and things that we sometimes keep hidden, like our hopes, dreams and fears. One of our goals at The Sisterhood is to encourage our private and public selves to be one and the same. When this happens, you can truly be yourself!
The question of the day is: If you really knew me you would know...? Please leave an anonymous comment and tell us!

I have many friends who kind of hide themselves from me. I don't try to push them out of there comfort zone, but sometimes it get's frusterating. I totally honest with them and sometimes brutally honest but I think just be comfortable with your abiltites, appearence and let your private self and public self join!
P.S.
ms. elliot rules.
XD lol. The P.S made me giggle.
The theme was 'If you knew the real me, you would know...', correct?
Well,
... That I know almost all of the little kid show theme songs. (currently, the Go, Diego, Go! theme song is stuck in my head.)
I know sometimes it's hard to just totally expose yourself and make all your hopes and fears known to the world. I've known most of my friends for a very long time, and it's still sort of hard for me to open up to them. I do, eventually, but it's like breaking down a wall. It's an invisible wall, and some people don't have it. Some do, but they've already smashed it into tiny pieces. Me, I still need to break out the sledgehammer, but I'm getting there. Sometimes, time is all you need.
It may seem easy to do, but it really isn't. We've grown up in a community where everyone says 'Don't do this, it might make this person feel this way', and that could be a problem, becasue you're putting everyone else's opinion in front of your own. You're caring more about what they think than what you yourself think. Once you're happy with yourself, and learn that other people's opinions shouldn't matter, then you're good to go!
I loved the third comment! Also, thanks for all the new Blunch people who came, I loved it! If you really knew me, you would know that I love songs from plays. I am a big musical theater nerd. I wish my life sould turn into a musical. My friends and I have tried singing and dancing randomly, but it doesn't work. :(
I was also suprised w/the new Bliunchers...but I liked it!
To Anon 1: Yeah, she does. :D And, knowing her, she probably doesn't even know how awesome she is....or that she is one of the most amazing people in the world....
To Anon 3: I think ALL communities say that. And I don't think that it's really relavent. Accepting yourself doesn't mean you don't IMPROVE youself: you can love yourself and not hurt yourself, but it's qually important to do the same for others. Meaness is not justified becuase it's 'yourself' and you're just 'being yourself.' And it's a wall EVERYONE has, except maybe little kids.
Another thought: what if you 'be youself' and YOU don't like it? For me, rejection by myself would be ten times the blow rejection by others would be. People don't realize this, but I think it's a huge factor.
Ooh, I like this theme...
My life is a musical, it's just that only I hear the songs...
If you really knew me, you'd know how much I wish I could talk to you and show you who I am...but I can't, and I'm so afraid that I bore people...(And no matter what anyone else says, I can NOT intentionally do something that might hurt someone else's feelings if they mean well, no matter how much I want to...)
Thanks for the Sister love! It means the world to me.I totally teared up (because I am sentimental and sappy, remember?).

I think that us girls should beable to express themselfs any way (that's apporpite) that they want to. No one else should be showing what they don't want to show, and no one should force them into showing off their private side.
P.S. I love the sisterhood of the travling lunches!!!!!
