Wow, Rap, you just touched on something that I think about lots when reading your posts of about the last four to six months.
There is something specifically that I've noticed about you and it's been very cool to watch you grow in this way...you've found your voice...that you have something to contribute and it shows. Not only does it show but it shows with confidence!
Also, in this sharing, your wording is much more to the point with an explanation or relation of why you feel/think as you do. No one walks away from your posts trying to read between the lines or searching through the weeds of words to find the meaning.
What you've retained that's so great, though, is that you show your compassion and understanding, and care enough to go into that detail as well.
Your posts, thoughts and feelings are MUCH more...well...well-rounded and all encompassing. You've retained the best of what you had, putting it together with growth and confidence to make a person who says what she means and means what she says...with absolute grace and tact.
It's such a pleasure to watch and be on the receiving end of. I think PC has helped there, don't you? You've been able to take little leaps in this direction and learn that nothing horrible happened when you tried, and that you were still embraced and cared for. You've sure perfected that in a short time!
It shows me that you're finding yourself, pulling together all aspects of your thoughts and putting them out there for those who want/need, and doing so with a confidence. All this reflects much growth and healing to me.
I'm assuming that this is also going on in real life and, if so, the people in your world are truly blessed.
So cool to see.
