QuoteOkay everything is back to normal. *phew* Thanks for all the help everyone.
(and got an 87% on my mid term so phew)
Thank you all.
Hi, Shanetastic,
You're welcome.
Good going on the exam. A solid B looks good from here.
You mention that everything is back to "normal" for whatever normal is in your life. That's great to hear and we're both relieved for that, you more so than me, of course.
May I make a suggestion? Given the upheaval through you have recently passed, grab its lesson before it gets lost in daily living. The lesson is to work on maintaining your balance and poise regardless of the furor surrounding you. You are lucky if you learn this when you're young. Take a fool's advice and don't let anything get you upset. I didn't suggest that you ignore everything, just don't let it shake your tree and make you fall out, so to speak.
Platitudes? Sure. Stale advice? Nope, as current as this moment.
You will go through many more tests on your journey through life in general and transitioning in particular. Stay cool. I have found that 90% of what I feared most never happened to me, and the 10% that did wasn't all that bad.
Weigh your words to others and measure your response. When choosing your words, make sure that they are no more ballistic than the situation that you're addressing. Sometimes the best reply is to say nothing.
I hope that this is of use to you. If not, I would appreciate knowing because I can get lost in my own pontification.
