So I was just about to post regarding the dinner I just had with my new inamorato and my parents, when I noticed ” title=”my letter to her” target=”_blank”>my letter to her made her cry. In” title=”Susie Orbach” target=”_blank”>Susie Orbach and ” title=”But I stand by what I said” target=”_blank”> But I stand by what I said. I truly am sorry if it hurt her or anyone else for that matter. All I can say is that sometimes the truth hurts. I may seem young and naive to her – well I feel young and like I’m at the beginning of the experiences life has in store for me so that makes sense. I don’t pretend to have any of the answers. I’m on the journey just like everyone else is. I’m just trying to call it like I see it at this point in time.
I will say though, it was a bit of compliment when Ilana mentioned that she thinks I don’t know that I’m beautiful. I have been called many things in my life, but modest about my appearance is not usually one of them. Perhaps I really am turning over a new leaf?
**UPDATE** 6/22 12:50pm Thank you to the reader who notified me that Ilana has edited her blog since posting and taken out some of the most offensive language about me and added a section that finally agrees with my whole point – namely that we should all try to get in shape. But it was up for a long enough time that I feel justified leaving this here. The list at the top was verbatim her comments regarding me.
