I suppose that's an odd thing to say about an autobiography, but personally I wasn't all that interested in Jacob's every little feeling about themself, nor every slight they've suffered in an otherwise quite privileged life.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17147186679298442560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665598552477308153.post-53620728370684160042020-02-25T14:55:27.493+00:002020-02-25T14:55:27.493+00:00Congratulations on 9 years of blogging.

Our perception of our place in the world of gender is always fluid, I find, as is our response to it. I guess that's only to be expected and I find the ebb and flow doesn't bother me as much as it used to.

I try not to say "we" very much about gender (and when I do, it's always an optional "we"), but my "I" has also changed substantially, so much so that the posts I wrote in earlier years now strike me as – very often – being by someone else entirely. Not that I think what I wrote was wrong necessarily, it's just... well... a few layers have come off since then ;)Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17147186679298442560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665598552477308153.post-15114235597816671422020-02-14T11:17:26.442+00:002020-02-14T11:17:26.442+00:00I think you have hit the nail on the head here, as...I think you have hit the nail on the head here, as we go through life and a new part of our identity reveals itself we then find another different facet to out lives becomes apparent and so it goes on, as you say just like pealing an onion. As we come to terms with each layer our life changes, sometimes by very little, but other times by a great deal, it's a fantastic journey that will lead us to our ultimate destiny. Who knows if we will ever get to the core, but that matters not providing you enjoy the journey!Life by Andrea Ravenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06762074769116922679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665598552477308153.post-89558600732420871812020-02-09T08:54:50.688+00:002020-02-09T08:54:50.688+00:00Thanks, Lynn x

Sometimes it seems that as we move through life, new things are revealed and things that once felt true or right, don't quite fit.Lynn Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00876715474502367377noreply@blogger.com
