I believe I have reached the most important stage in my life...

and I not fooling around here.

exposure to sickness and so much self rejection and dread has been replaced by a gift beyond my wildest dreams...

here goes..!

"I like people"

I see a little piece of me in others now

this translates into empathy

my world has been such diabolical solitude for so damn long...
I have accidentally ignored the most fundamental survival instinct!

company

I have had my reasons but now they don't matter

I want to embrace people

I want to appreciate them and it's much easier that I have an intimate knowledge of shame distrust and dysfunction

I am no longer threatened by people
there is so much to enjoy when in the presence of another
I am not ashamed of this

people are a gift

there is a little bit of us in each one of us
