Oh, and as I re-read, I realize, I didn't post EVERYTHING like I thought.
Again, memory playing tricks on me.
Based on my reading, I'd have to say that what I did was try to post only the positives. Then when I was feeling down, I'd go and read other threads...and come back and post what I found as a way to inspire myself...make myself feel better.
And don't worry about the scabs. Surprisingly, the only ones that bothered me were the ones regarding me parents.
