Courage is not the absence of fear. I find fear is the hardest thing to live with, so I will not do it anymore.
Fear is a part of life unfortunately, learning to tell the difference between unfounded fear and real fear is tricky. Courage is realizing fear is there and proceeding ahead despite that feeling of fear.
Ruby, be true to yourself. One thing I have learned through this is I cannot wait for the perfect wife, girlfriend, partner to complete me. I need to forge ahead with life allowing God and myself to complete me. In other words I need to be a complete person without needing another to "make me feel" good about myself. Then and only then will I be able to find a healthy relationship. Keep working on you Ruby.
You rock!!!
You can not change your past, but you can ruin a perfectly good present by worrying about the future.
