She likes to stop along the creek bed and sit on a rock, watching the water swirl into little eddies. If it wasn't so cold, she'd contemplate taking off her sock and shoes and wading in.
She's struggling internally a little bit today. She is trying to be okay on her own, but sometimes she really wishes she had a partner. Her mother is pushing her to get back together with her ex-boyfriend, but Harley doesn't want to. He was too impressed with money for her taste, and always felt out of place with him. She's wondering if there will ever be a good match for her. She hasn't met a boy she's felt a real connection with since her senior year of high school and she's now a sophmore in college. She's starting to wonder if it's her, if she should try harder to fit in with everyone else. But at the same time, she knows no matter how hard she tries, she won't fit. It's just not who she is.
She doesn't tell anyone this, not anyone, but her real goal in life is have a family. She wants to get married and have kids and be a stay at home mom. But it's such a throw back and so not in alignment with her feminist ideas, she doesn't dare to say it out loud. She also is trying to escape the craziness of her own family and find normalcy, but she's not sure what it looks like.
My, but Harley is in a contemplative mood today! It sounds like you are setting the stage for the next boy who will come into her life. But when?
ReplyDeleteNot for a long time, lol, it'll be months before I've got the funds. But I must say, a JID Boris probably fits the bill!
DeleteHarley is so beautiful! I am contemplating getting a ball-jointed doll after seeing all of your photos of her. What kind of doll is she? Also, what do the acronyms JID and LTF stand for?
ReplyDeleteThank you,
Hi Lena,
DeleteI highly recommend bjds, they are so amazing to pose and each one can be created to suit your desire. JID is a kind of doll from a company called Iplehouse.
LTF is the size that Emma is (Littlefee) and MNF is the size that Harley is (Minifee) both of these dolls are from Fairyland. I ordered them through Denver Doll Emporium. I like have a US Company as an intermediary. Best wishes!

Thanks a lot, your response is extremely helpful! I have another question: would Ellowyne clothes patterns fit on on the Minifee dolls? Thank you so much for all of your help.
DeleteYou're welcome!! :) I know some patterns do. I'm not sure about the bottoms, I've only made a couple of tees.
DeleteDear Harley... maybe the most important achievement of feminism is to give women the option to decide for themselves how they want to live their lives - whether they want to be a company CEO or a stay-at-home mom. One decision, and one way of life, is not better or worse per se than the other - what counts is which one is better or worse for you.
ReplyDeleteLove from another ball-jointed girl. :-)
PS My human says you are sooo pretty! And I agree.
Thanks! Most of Harley's friends have big ambitions for their future. So she doesn't want to sound like she hasn't got big dreams too. You know how it is, when you are young and aren't sure if you should say something aloud or not!
DeleteLovely photos of Harley and very nice story of how this girl thinks. Life can be full of what ifs and stones on the path. Be true to yourself no matter what and no matter who you are with. :o)
ReplyDeleteHi Bama! I'm not too worried about her. She'll be true to herself. It's just not easy for her right now and she's plagued with self doubt. The not so joyous part of being young lol.
