You are more than welcome. Sure u can print it. It was for u , to keep, to ignore, to do what ever with. I wanted to share it with u. I thought u needed to hear it.
See, it's not so superficial to show you care over the net. I think (in general)the posters on this site are genuine in regards to their concern. We may not ever meet in person but our lives have crossed paths & our hearts are connected. (is that too sappy?)

> > I wrote that four or five years ago when I was in denial. I've never dealt with any of my issues to any extent. I'm the queen of de'nile (recently admitted it wasn't only a river in egypt). I don't need therapy-that's for weak individuals.HAHAHA Boy, was I walkin' around dazes & confused. I've been abused so many times I've lost count. Part of it is a learned behavior. Part is my desire to prove there is good in people. Nieve? maybe?!? I tend to believe it's a type of self destructive behavior. IF SOMEONE HURTS YOU ONCE - SHAME ON THEM!IF SOMEONE HURTS YOU TWICE - SHAME ON YOU!!!(advice I give but never follow) Used, taken advantage of...etc. PICK ME, PICK ME!!! There are some nasty indiviuals out there. I dish out awesome advice, trouble is, I'm crappy @ following it. (do as I say, not as I do) You are not alone. You arn't the first to have those feelings & you certainly won't be the last. I'd lay bets on that.
