I will not stay in that vortex of pain ever again - bacause nobody will ever do that again. Okay, I will have set backs but no. I am done with this. Time to jog on - as me. Wishing you all he best.
surfer, you seem to have covered a lot of ground in a very small timeframe. I remember chatting back on your first posts
it's strange how a lot of us LBS get knocked so far off track without even realizing it. i feel exactly what you're staying here. the menial things that happen consistently over such a long period of time change who we are as a person without us even knowing we've lost ourselves. it's a tough thing to, first, identify this and not play victim, but then to take action and make those changes we know we lead us to the best versions of ourselves... that's the tough part that is life... thats the "jog" you'll be running for the rest of our lives... that's the mark we leave behind for others to remember us by... i wish you well.
