I was once so frightened of change. I remember In highschool being so afraid of graduating because all it would bring was change. I hadn't made any decisions on the next step of my life and in many ways I didn't want to. I didn't know where my life was going to go and I was happy where I was...

 

...many years later I look back and smile at that notion. I smile because it seems so funny how I could've been so scared of that, especially since my life has only been change for the past year.

 

Its almost been a year.

 

I can definitely say a year ago I didn't know what was happening to my life, to myself, and what I was doing to people who were important to me. I look back at that time recognizing it was difficult for everyone. Me. My family. My friends. And of course my ex.

 

I spent a great deal of time questioning every aspect of my life: who I was, what I was doing, what my job meant to me, and what my life meant to me. I looked in a mirror and looked at a reflection of a person I had grown to not recognize and very much dislike.

 

But over time things began to become clearer... With each struggly I would force myself to look at it squarely and understand why I feel that way... Eventually the trap door of emotion began to close and I once again began to feel whole... And now... I now know with certainty who I am, where my life is headed, and what I want to make of it...

 

...I just wanted to say how much I have appreciated everyone who has taken the time out of their lives to help me along the way. Whose pushed aside their own feelings to support me when I needed it. I don't know how I could've gotten through the past year without it. I am happy I found this website and the people who occupy it.

 

Thank You. For all of you being you.

I second what deejay said, thank you Crvers for being there when I needed someone, too. I'm glad I could help you in any way, but it's a two-way street...you gave back just as much as you got, friend.

 

And I think it's awesome that you have such purpose and clarity now. That's something that emotional pain can cloud for a bit, but when it comes back, we're unstoppable!

 

Your friend, Scout
