I think your last sentence says it all. You are ready to live your life. It sounds like you have a good handle on it all and can carry those thoughts on to achieve so much more than you think you are capable of.
Many many hugs and calming vibes being sent your way.
When I read your story about your childhood it really moved me. You have amazing courage and strength to go through what you have gone through in your life. Your father is lucky you even talk to him now. You do not owe him anything, just be true to yourself. I think that our family secrets trigger alot of our anxiety because we feel alone and scared. My father was a drug addict and it was the biggest secret because I lived in a very nice neighborhood.
I am thinking of everyone on the board! I have been in AZ since last friday. This was my second trip on my own to see friends since Nov. I am trying to test myself. Offcourse, I get scared and try not to project the future...but sometimews when we make steps that are outside our norm. we get anxious!!
Looking forward to writing more when I get home on Monday!!
