Perhaps it only surfaces when she encounters people from that difficult, awkward time. <BR/><BR/>Incredible post.

I've spent hours or weeks of my life going over this... we created the Doktor.<BR/><BR/>College kicked the handle, but he is still in many ways the object that we "wished" into existence.<BR/><BR/>I guess the only question is whether we created the Doktor, or simply recognized him. To me, knowing him, it sounds redundant.KOMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00801562785410076164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13421295.post-27204267797398889332007-04-04T18:20:00.000-07:002007-04-04T18:20:00.000-07:00At the end of the day, we are ultimately responsib...At the end of the day, we are ultimately responsible for who we become.<BR/><BR/>As Richard Bach once wrote:<BR/><BR/>Every person, all the events of your life, are there because you have drawn them there.<BR/><BR/>What you choose to do with them is up to you.<BR/><BR/><BR/>- from "Illusions, The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah"<BR/><BR/>and...<BR/><BR/>If it's never our fault, we can't take responsibility for it. <BR/>If we can't take responsibility for it, we'll always be its victim.<BR/><BR/>- from "Running From Safety"<BR/><BR/>Sorry.

Jenny made herself. You may have helped. Thousands of others may have too. Nobody raises themselves, in other words.<BR/><BR/>I have a feeling her brother had something to do with it too....tiffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01351692108818152561noreply@blogger.com
