Forgive me if this is addressed in a later post by someone. But what struck me in the above sentence is "capable" for what? "Capable" is a very broad term. You are capable of feeding yourself, raising children, providing amazing support, working hard to understand yourself and grow...and so many more things. I know that many many people define themselves by their jobs or careers. But is really only one narrow aspect.
You, falls, are very very capable.
