Hi Anita. I hope you are having a nice weekend. I’m glad you told me that. I always figured that the longer we held on to those false beliefs about ourselves, the more ingrained it gets and harder it would be to change. That gives me hope, that at my age I can still make it. For me, around age 55 I started doing a lot of self reflection, which is normal at our age, and was not happy with the way much of my life had gone. I had been living timidly and in constant fear of rejection. I was tired of carrying around this emotional burden. I started doing some research on self esteem and found that its the thing that guides the way we live. I can look back at every big regret I have and see that my lack of self esteem was a major factor in the choices I made. I could either stay stuck on these past mistakes or try to heal and make some positive changes. Its hard for both of us, which makes us connected in a way. I had always felt isolated with my emotional problems. Its nice to find and communicate with someone that is fighting the same demons. Bye for now,

Jim/Jamie
