Good morning, Olivia

Did I apologize for going on too long? Well, that's me all right. I get going, and I forget to stop. 🙂 This one I've no choice but to keep short; I've a deadline breathing down on me.

I applauded you for finding the truth of your nature while you'd still time to do something about it––the necessary time, and a reasonably good support system. My story, while different in some ways, is similar to your in its essences: discovering, and living the truth of yourself.

I had one of those … what do they call it in psycho-babble? "conflicted childhoods"? Yes, that was it: a conflicted childhood. Like so many of us––far too many of us!––we live out our lives not only never discovering the falsity of ourselves, but worse yet never even realizing we're living a perpetual masquerade. Instead, we just "buck up," make do, take the anguish and the pain, and go on.

You're one of the lucky ones––lucky, and courageous––who found the wherewithal to say I'm going to fix my life and fix it before it's too late. I applaud you and your brave choices!

Have a great Wednesday.

Cheers!
Ray
