Mama, you know I NEVER mind a good hijack! I do it all the time lol.
As for what you said, I think you are on the right track. Stay true to who you ARE. In my case, I am just trying to find that out so staying true to something unknown is hard, but not impossible. As you learn more about yourself, you simply take stock and see if your current actions or "way" is in keeping with what you now know. I think we both are getting to a point where we are really ready to accept ourselves as "ok" and if our WAS see that then great, if not, then it will suck for sure, but life WILL go on for us. The absolute most powerful thing we all say around here is that we are in charge of our own happiness. That is such a simple thing to say and such a terribly difficult thing to practice. Most of us got into relationships not to find a worthy compainion who complements our strenghts and weaknesses, pushes us and helps us grow, but rather because we wanted someone to make us happy long before we made ourselves happy. If we only knew!
