Dear Matt,

I am floored by your insight and so grateful for your suggestions and kindness. You are absolutely right about sort of clinging to my boyfriend for safety because I have pretty much been walking down the scary street feeling uncertain. Just that description put me at ease. I tried the metta meditation this morning and was in a much better mood in general and experienced less stress with regard to my boyfriend. I was also thankfully able to study quite a bit. 🙂

Thank you for your help and your wisdom! It’s so encouraging to know that someone out there is willing to offer me advice through these challenges. I am so appreciative and feel very blessed.

All the best,
Marie
