It’s an obsession with every generation. But then again, this is a lesson that can’t be taught.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Comment on Finissez la phrase vendredi, le Wakefield Doctrine (la théorie de clarks, scotts et rogers) by GirlieOnTheEdge</h1> <p>GirlieOnTheEdge — Sat, 18 May 2013 19:06:14 +0000</p> <p>“….most of the time trying to figure out if I should ….. (how?) and would it be worth it anyway…”<br /> Damn! The last part of that sentence. Powerful.<br /> Yes. I stand as a cryptic clark today:)</p> </article> <article> <h1>Comment on Finissez la phrase vendredi, le Wakefield Doctrine (la théorie de clarks, scotts et rogers) by GirlieOnTheEdge</h1> <p>GirlieOnTheEdge — Sat, 18 May 2013 17:08:57 +0000</p> <p>I’ve now read this post 2x. The first time was yesterday morning prior to any of the comments.<br /> The part about midgets and clowns had me laughing so hard I was almost in tears.<br /> And then I reached the last paragraph and a half. Instant emotional reaction. The kind that makes you say… “aw-w”. This is a good post, an honest post, a poignant post. As a clark I can identify. </p> <p>Thank you Cyndi for verbalizing the “stupid” thing. As a kid I had trouble with why it was I thought so many of the things my contemporaries were doing were simply stupid. And immature. What kind of child calls other children immature? LOL A clark, of course:) </p> <p>I’m with Kristi. This post is thought provoking which is why I need to ask why it is that clarks, overwhelmingly more than the scotts and rogers “…. see other people’s lives from the outside and wish they were ours.”</p> <p>Hey, scratch the first part of my comment. Just re-print what Stephanie said! Way better. And shorter. LOL</p> <p>Jen? A little secret. clarks often appear confident. It is one of our best “disguises” (unless we’re accessing our scottian aspect. lol). Why in the world would a clark want to appear vulnerable? Would allow a milli-chance bing caught losing control? Would be left vulnerable to having to relate on an emotional level to something that may not affect us emotionally? And let’s not forget fear? It permeates the world of a clark. The thing is to not fear the fear. Accepting the fear is the first step to understanding it.</p> <p>Thumbs up to Janine! You are a ray of sunshine:) Your comments are always positive and encouraging. They are complete in their simplicity.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Comment on Finissez la phrase vendredi, le Wakefield Doctrine (la théorie de clarks, scotts et rogers) by clarkscottroger</h1> <p>clarkscottroger — Sat, 18 May 2013 05:37:20 +0000</p> <p>@Jen</p> <p>…yeah, but we are Outsiders who are somehow getting the chance to belong, albeit to a group of Outsiders but still … that in and of itself is worth the discomfort of seeing our reflection in other people. But I totally know what you mean ( of course!) and if you think it felt …funny/good/bad/mad/sad to read it, think about how I felt when I hear about it…lol I <em>know</em> that you know what I mean… I love this place because I find I can sneak stuff out to the world about myself… without me noticing. but it is a good thing, I was serious when I wrote somewhere around here today that clarks (of the three) are the one that genuinely get better with age</p> </article> <article> <h1>Comment on Finissez la phrase vendredi, le Wakefield Doctrine (la théorie de clarks, scotts et rogers) by Jen</h1> <p>Jen — Sat, 18 May 2013 04:12:42 +0000</p> <p>You know, being a blogger is the perfect place for a Clark. I only share my secret fears with my good friends, but from the blogosphere apparently I appear quite confident. This post is eye-opening and a little sad all rolled into one.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Comment on Finissez la phrase vendredi, le Wakefield Doctrine (la théorie de clarks, scotts et rogers) by clarkscottroger</h1> <p>clarkscottroger — Sat, 18 May 2013 03:01:53 +0000</p> <p>@Stephanie</p> <p>thank you… you guys do come up with awfully muse-inclined Sentences (to be Finished) plus the hold ‘hop’ seems to engender that atmosphere that encourages risk-taking and creativity.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Comment on Finissez la phrase vendredi, le Wakefield Doctrine (la théorie de clarks, scotts et rogers) by Stephanie @ Mommy, for real.</h1> <p>Stephanie @ Mommy, for real. — Sat, 18 May 2013 02:52:08 +0000</p> <p>Those last two paragraphs kind of took my breath away, to be honest. And this line: ” I felt that being younger was my responsibility and that I was expected to overcome it.” That post was deep- in a really, really good way. Beautiful.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Comment on Finissez la phrase vendredi, le Wakefield Doctrine (la théorie de clarks, scotts et rogers) by clarkscottroger</h1> <p>clarkscottroger — Fri, 17 May 2013 23:07:51 +0000</p> @Amy we (including you among <strong>clarks</strong><em>) are the ones that truly improve with age. Not that the rogers and scotts are <em>not</em> good and have value, but I am totally enjoying reading how we (<em>clarks</em>) faced the world from the essentially same position (outside, lol) and have come to the point that all of the things we counted on being worthwhile are... </article> <article> <h1>Comment on Finissez la phrase vendredi, le Wakefield Doctrine (la théorie de clarks, scotts et rogers) by Amy</h1> <p>Amy — Fri, 17 May 2013 22:48:24 +0000</p> <p>Ugh! You just reminded me about how I wanted to be the short, cute, curly haired girl. The kind that was always smiling and chatting with people and having a great time in the world. I was the tall, lanky straight haired girl standing on the sidelines most of the time trying to figure out if I should jump into the fun (how?) and would it be worth it anyway…<br /> I’m still like that a little, but now I’m absolutely cool with it!<br /> Being young was hard. :) This was a great post though…really enjoyed it!</p> </article> </main></body></html>
