Love the way you did this Miss Blurt Out, it is just wonderful. The overreacting resonates because one of my personal mottos has been "Tis far better to overreact than underreact."
Thanks for stopping by for a visit - I did a little reply to your query about the shoes.
Smiles.

Hello - you commented on my old blog (http://mcmakinamber.blogspot.com). I never got that comment until recently because I cannot remember the log in but have changed accounts.
Your comment you left, I wanted to reply to it.
When you're unsure of how to be yourself, pause, think about what things make up you.
What things do you love without having to love because of something else?
What things make you smile so big you feel like your face will forever freeze?
Those are the things that make up who you are - even the things that make you sad, make you who you are.
They are all apart of you and that is who YOU are.
