Hi Cataleya,

I have had those thoughts more than I'd ever be able to count. That I'm broken, incapable of intimacy, doomed to fail at relationships, too old to start over (I started thinking that when I was 24!!), etc. None of them are true, but they do keep me disconnected from others.

At the moment I'm doing my best at being a supportive friend, brother and son, and by doing so, building my openness to love. It's hard work, but rest assured, you're not the only one.
