Dearest Love,

I just want to say again: I am so incredibly proud of you. And, yes, some of the effects of this process are harder on me, but I wouldn't trade your growth and the emerging you I see for anything. So, so, so proud of you, and so crazy in love with you. You're liberating that bigger, greater, stronger self of yours all the time and that deserves absolute celebration. Nothing worthwhile in life comes easy... we're all here to support you as best we can.

*hugs* I'll see you soon.

I feel like I am claiming my wings,

though they look a little darker than yours - more like vampire or gargoyle, anger/warrior colours...though I may be in a mood lately.

Bahh - I am going to read.

*hugs* sweetie.

I love you dearly.

You are functional, you are very functional. Now, you're working on healthy and happy.

*hugs*

I feel like a lot of my "I'm messed up, I'm not healthy, I'm dysfuctional" is stemming from self-anger/loathing/setting too high standards for myself.

Why do I want to be perfect, and why am I furious with myself for not being so?

I think I found another chunk, lol...

If you keep this up, you'll be done before you leave. And, you'll just have the AT for pure enjoyment. Hm... that would be no bad thing, you know. ;)

So proud of you, love.

sorry to hear that you aren't well out there...

*BIG HUGS*

and thank you for your support

From a bit of distance, I can see that you are a bit of a runner. I think just staying here as long as you have has been a real accomplishment. I know that you have the strength to trust and set down roots. This is a hard time for you but I think you are managing well.

thank you.

These comments mean a lot to me.

I don't know you well, but I can understand all too well how the help of your partners and friends can (and should) make a difference.

I've learned that asking for and accepting help *is* a strength onto itself.

I am also in many ways going through my own self-discovery. As such, I admire your strength, persistence and willingness to work through and confront your challenges.

Interestingly enough I am dating someone who completed the AT in 2002, and it was (and still is) a extremely positive life defining time period for him.

Sending you support and warm thoughts :-)

thank you.

And good travels on your own journey.

Thank you for supplying the info about that thru-hike.

Good luck with the new relationship, =).
