It seems like we're running a bit in tangent with our new outlooks and dedication to life ;) and I'm so proud that you're going for it, that you're making waves towards your own happiness. Can't wait to hear what you have in store! :) Mary: I’m so sorry that you’ve been feeling so bad (but I’m relieved to hear you’re able to get that resolved!).

I am so incredibly grateful to have met you, so grateful for your friendship. I don't think you even know what courage and strength you've offered, and these friendships are what have kept me going. Thanks for everything...Everything. Love to you! Sam: I know I said it last night, but I’m going to say it again (and I know I’ll say it in the future).

I'm really beginning to wonder if it's even possible :) This is exactly what I'm feeling right now -- I've been down for so long that it feels like that's all I know, like I've forgotten what it feels like to have energy, to be clear-minded, to be, well...me. And I know that there is so much more to me -- than all of us -- than our circumstances (and even feelings) can claim. "Maybe I feel that I’ve been in a funk for long enough." Exactly. This is exactly it. Feel what you feel -- I said it to Harl and I really do believe it. Whether you're angry or your sad or you're happy, feel that. Understand that. Because that's a huge part of understanding yourself. What has bothered me, though, is that I was allowing myself to feel the first two for so long that I forgot what that last one was. And it seems like I wouldn't allow myself to be happy, even if I had the chance. I'm looking forward to finding that again, finding my strength, finding that hope. It's already beginning, with a little help from my friends :) Thanks, Ken :) Ken: Can I ever say thank you enough?

“Maybe I feel that I’ve been in a funk for long enough.”

Exactly. This is exactly it. Feel what you feel — I said it to Harl and I really do believe it. Whether you’re angry or your sad or you’re happy, feel that. Understand that. Because that’s a huge part of understanding yourself. What has bothered me, though, is that I was allowing myself to feel the first two for so long that I forgot what that last one was. And it seems like I wouldn’t allow myself to be happy, even if I had the chance.

I’m looking forward to finding that again, finding my strength, finding that hope. It’s already beginning, with a little help from my friends :)

Thanks, Ken :)
