Thanks to all of you for supporting me—I truly appreciate your feedback. It helps to know people understand.

At first, I admit, I was a little scared to be happy—it had been such a long time. But now I am letting some of it seep in. Its not like I feel like climbing on the roof and doing a dance, but I feel somewhat content with my life right now. It just hit me!!! You know what I have? I have HOPE that things will get better—I have hope that I can become the person I want to be. Hope, hope, hope…that’s an amazing thing. I still have doubts and such, but having a little glimmer of hope helps so much.
