Hi Everyone,
The format scares me a little. I hope I can catch on after awhile. I see
a lot of my old friends here. Many of you held my hand and supported me
this last year as I stuggled to find who I really am inside. I am more happy than I have been in my whole life. I do still struggle with terrible issues. Life is real. I am finally understanding what, life is a journey, means. I am learning to leave my pain as a child in the past. 1.5 years of therapy with a wonderful woman is helping me also to see who I am and not look at myself through my parents eyes or the eyes of hurtful people who would condemn me in ignorance.
I was rigid forever. On the journey now, I change my views and beliefs
as I take information and look at it. I am learning to process and adapt.
I am growing as an individual now and not living in the Hell Box that my parents had created for me. Hate is such an evil force. I hope people here
are more loving, caring and tolerant. Free exchange of ideas is the base
of freedom. This I have always believed. I hope this can become my new
home, family and new friends.
