I can relate Hope. It's amazing we can even function at work let alone excel like you are doing. I don't believe I am excelling but my head is above water anyway.

Nothing wrong with feeling to be wanted and needed. Especially now. We have all been told essentially that we don't "measure up". We already feel like failures even though I have been told by many that it's quite the opposite. WAS are the failures for bailing without even giving it a go.

We kind of carry around this ball and chain of shame. There is no shame in what we did. There is especially no shame in how we are all fighting to become the best people we can be.

I hate the divorced guy/gal stigma. It is reality but it's not who we are as a person. Keep doing whats right and you will find that connection again. (Ideally with him)


Fight the good fight no matter the quality of your opponent.
