A little terrifying...especially considering that I'm not sure I've even allowed myself to see me in that kind of light. How can I possibly let someone get to know me when I don't really know myself?
Touche, eh? Now the fun begins! And I mean that ... getting to know myself has been a painful and enlightning process - one that started before the bomb and really came together for me post bomb. You are gonna love what you discover - just maybe not AS you are discovering it

No hiding behind being a smartass. No laughing away the hurt, no smiles or jokes to deflect whatever it is that I've been too afraid to show.
Your friends love you for who you are, and that includes all the parts you think you don't want anyone to see. The truth is, without this knowledge, this insight, this reality, you haven't given them the best parts of you. The hard parts, the painful parts are what have built your character and formed your soul ... those are the pieces that make the picture complete ...
Good for you shelbel - sorry breal - the best is yet to come ... and we can handle it ... bring it on ...
