I've discovered a lot about myself in the last 4 days. Things that I haven't thought about since I was a child. And as much as it hurts to relive some of those things, talking about it and starting to work through it feels great.
I can pinpoint a single moment in my life when everything changed. And as cliche as it sounds, that moment really did shape a lot of the person that I am today. It has affected every single relationship that I have had since that point.
Rationally I know the way I feel sometimes is absurd. But emotionally, that defining moment has crippled me. I need to find a way to work through it and I think I may be ready to do that.
I feel very lucky to have people in my life that are willing to go through this with me.
