Dear noname:

So good to read from you, almost 3 months since you posted last. I am doing better, recovering from over-straining my neck and shoulder a few days ago.. it’s tough to be in physical pain, although any kind of pain is.. well, painful.

Good to read the following: (1) that you are about 2 months away from earning your FULL therapy license, excellent! (2) that you are prioritizing your mental health through regular meditation, compassionate and positive self-reflection, acceptance of your current life circumstances, remaining present, and keeping a healthy distance from your inner child so that he doesn’t take over your functioning, (3) that you were able to postpone sex when dating a woman.. for the first time in your life, congratulations! (4) that you ended a relationship with a critical/you-should-you-shouldn’t woman.

I am encouraged and excited, reading your update, thank you for posting it!
