You are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. I didn't become this bold the day after the bomb. Hell, I spent over a year acting like a complete and total basket case...doing all the wrong things.
But as YOU said, Patience is everything.
It takes us A LOT of time to heal, A LOT of time to get our feet back under us. A LOT of time to pick our self esteem up off the floor, dust it off and pull OURSELVES back together.
MY current strength comes from the months and months of tearing myself down and then slowly finding the strength to build myself back up.
I went the full gamet in this journey. From thoughts of suicide over my 'worthlessness' to thoughts of "hey, I need to D this ahole" to where I am today. Back to a relatively well balanced me and a better ME at that.
It's been a long, painful, difficult journey to get here. And as crazy as it sounds, I'm beginning to feel that the pain was the 'lesson' I had to learn. T2
