Mona, congrats on your degree! Your life sounds really fun and exciting.
I get what you mean about your mum sounding confident and assured. It's just something that is so appealing, isn't it? It's also what I want for myself.
I am also trying very hard to get over the rejection and betrayal, abd the fear that nobody will ever want me again. But I just have to push these fears aside and get on with life.
You can call me Dory/ Grl.
As a wise fish once sang,"Just keep swimming!"
It's no use to go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.
