Life starts with the relationship with ourselves. That's never to late to have.
You are very right. It's never too late.

I'm so sorry that you felt that hurt, and I an so happy for you that your found strength in working through it and finding that "relationship with yourself".

My counselor and I talked about something similar tonight and I believe that I will be thinking and journaling on it this upcoming week.

Autonomy.

I've never heard the word until I was reading the article I posted on this thread.

Of course, I had to look it up and get the meaning of it in words.

It feels very empowering.

Maybe similar to "a relationship with yourself"?
