Hi, I have read through your posts. I actually don't really know what to say other than, I send you positive thoughts.
Even now, a year into my journey, I am still amazed at how similar our stories here are.
I have read and been told that it is the one left behind, the one who wants to try, the one whom holds onto faith and hope are the ones who in time gain...... a wholeness that the one who gave up will never achieve.
Now I don't relish in this thought for myself and others in a negative toward those that have decided to walk away....... I hold onto this notion as hope that you and me and everyone else one here rises to their greatest potential.
I am also feeling the sadness, emptyness and the loss of tradition and dream that I think you are feeling now.
My heart goes out to you, we are all here to support each other. I find that very unique and special.
