As for the rest...
You are growing at an amazing rate.

I paid into the system that was designed to help me at just such a time. I am glad I can't technically own a gun because I am at the end of a long list of nutters I would take to hell with me.

I know that living with a less than healthy partner has shown me that I adjust to their standards, not them to mine. That solitude is an exquisite gift. That the bottom is still well below my toes.
> That my family really and truly loves me, and is distressed when I am. That's a gift, actually, when you have faced indifference for 12 years.
> I may be stupid, but there is still room for improvement, which is more than I can say for other people who post on these boards, you schmuck.
