Dear Going Through Life:
If I had read your whole post before leaving the computer, your request for words of comfort, I would have found the time earlier 😔
Thank you for your empathy, friend. You are a good person 🙏. I am fine now, in this regard.
I think that yours and E’s choices in regard to SS & E are wise.
Yes, I do think that you can attract good mates, have fun relationships and a good career.. nothing perfect, but good-enough. Just keep being honest and courageous. Gradually reveal yourself with new people as you get to know them patiently. No rushing in these matters. One Step At A Time.
🤍🌿 Anita
