I understand now that the biggest problem we face is ourselves. The fact that you have come here, or found this site, is a tremendous plus. We who are starting this journey no matter how we got here, are facing tremendous obstacles. Funny that the largest of those, are those that we ourselves have introduced. Whether you ascribe the difficulties to your location, upbringing, or environment, the largest of these are intrinsically those that we ourselves have ascribed. I acknowledged and recognize your desire to be accepted for who and what you are. Nothing external limits you and your potential more than the personnel beliefs you hold dear. In fact, if you accept you for being you whatever that may be, your environment no matter how hostile you currently perceive, will adjust itself to you. In all honesty. you are who you are, and your peers will adjust to accept you.
I welcome you to Susan's place, I look forward to knowing you better, you have taken a HUGE leap in faith to reach out to others that have come before you. In an effort to know yourself better, nothing no matter where you come form, or what station in life you inhabit, can diminish your desire to know yourself better.
Christy.
