mixed media memoirs
Hmmmm.... that is a hard one for me ~ cause honestly I don't know if I tell myself lies ~ the chatter in my head is telling me it how it is, I think. Or sometimes the voices are me, trying to work stuff out, but I don't know if there are any actual lies that I tell myself.
Maybe I am telling myself a lie when I tell myself there is a meaning to this thing we call life
OR maybe I am telling a lie when I constantly tell myself there is a reason for everything that happens in life.
my journal is full of the words - what if this is all a lie? and it is just my imagination.
ooh - but I forgot - when I was litte, I was always told not to tell lies 'cause you get pimples on your tongue.
So the lies I tell myself are more like voices of self doubt.
(and once again, this post is written as I think - confusing, yes?)

No, you know when you are telling a lie - you can feel it. Self doubt is something altogether different I think.
I don't think I tell myself lies, but maybe I try to convince myself that something is what I want it to be ~ does that make sense? Well, I mean, right now I have been telling myself that I'm ok (although sad) since my Mom died. I wouldn't call that a lie, but I guess I don't believe myself either.
Ha, I was told the same thing! To this day, if I get a bump on my tongue, I say, I must have told a fib!! hehe Love your pic!!
I think you "know" when something is a lie. By the same token, if we doubt too much, we can't hear the truth. I used to doubt my own inner wisdom because I thought I was telling myself what I wanted to hear. It took a long time, but I started by trusting myself, and now I know what is true and what is wishful thinking. I can just sense it. XOXO
I love your MMM collage. It's beautiful and says alot. I did mine and photograped it but it just felt unfinished so I'm going to sit on it for a day or so. I need to learn to be more process oriented and not so quick to just produce something.
I hope you're right Robyn. I hope there IS a meaning to all of this and we're not just some fluke. I hope that there is a life after the physical where we recognize those who walked the path with us.
I think we all doubt sometimes. But I don't think that is telling yourself a lie. Maybe you are just really curious. And so you question everthing. I love the voices in my head most of the time. They can whisper some pretty neat things to us.
