Thank you for giving this perspective. I painstakingly copied your article word for word to send to my almost 70 year old brother who has struggled with the deepest torments all his life. He's almost deaf and has troubles I cannot mention here, but he is facing them. I'm sending him a letter with your essay, fully credited to you.

I think I was trying to be perfect in my past! Or I was trying to see my ex as perfect but of course he wasn't! But I am not perfect and you'll just have to take me the way I am! Just the way I am! With all my health issues! If I would have felt this way earlier in my life, I probably would have done things differently!

We take it the way they are doing what we can in the present towards improving. In a graceful, joyful manner. Now that you are aware, how are you to make worth of your while?

Thank you. Lately, I've been putting my feelings into my writing, and now I have a place to send my writing to! A poem, a thought or a story! When I was a teen, I was often depressed but not anymore! I wanted to be like my school mates but now I know I should have just been me! Thanks.
