Shelby,

Good luck with your presentations! You’ve absolutely got this! Let me know how it goes 🙂

Also, I am so glad to hear that you’re feeling better! Do you think the reality is kicking in? You know when every single person advised that it gets better with time, maybe this is exactly what is happening right now? Nevertheless, I am so happy to hear that you’re doing well! The progress you are making is incredible and you should give yourself a real pat on your back! You have come a long way since we first started our online communication!

I know what you mean about the love of your life is not someone who would break your heart. I do believe that to an extent. But then there’s the realist part of me who is aware that we are only human and we make mistakes. Now provided they are actual mistakes and not intentional actions to hurt the other perhaps they can be looked past or forgiven. It’s a really tough one as on one hand I want to believe in this fairy tale of love isn’t supposed to hurt, two people just get together and have their happy ever after. But then on the other hand this forum alone shows that all that is is a fairy tale! We are all flawed, we will all mess up and make mistakes and more often than not we hurt those who are closest to our hearts! It’s the sad sad truth!
