I just re-read my first post in the thread....and remembered oh-so-clearly all of the pain and fear I was going through....I don't know if you know how truly frightened I was.
Taking advice to reach out was so wise...and so not me....I just listened, and did as I was advised.
The ripples from that have been incredible...I truly feel like a different person than I was just a few weeks ago. Facing all of this head-on, and staying determined to have something wonderful that I have waited for years to have has been everything for me....and now....I am doing it. This is really happening.
And it would not be happening without this unbelievably incredible support. No one else in the world gets me like you guys do....no one else ever will. And together, well, we are unstoppable. ♥
WE CAN DO THIS. ♥

Safe is good right? No. Safe is what I needed so desperately for so long when I was drunk and stoned and frightened, and had no idea how to pay my bills. Safe was my goal....safe was everything. But now, 'safe' feels like prison. Now I trust myself again, and know that 'I can', and I don't want to sit here in this cocoon-like existence. It is time to (sorry for the bad pun) be the butterfly. ♥
♥Thank you, Venus, for sharing this, it went straight to my heart and I recognized it as a truth for me right off.

Suze - I SO understand the being stuck. A dear friend of mine calls it "staying in your uncomfortable comfort zone" and that has stuck with me.
I can KNOW I need to move on, but for whatever reason, I tend to stay where I am. It's taken a long time and I'm not all fixed, but I am better about stepping out of that zone.
You are doing the same. You feel the fear, but you keep moving forward. You reached out when you needed support. You are coming to the US!!
You have made some major steps out of your comfort level and I'm so very proud of you.
Hugs and prayers,
Amy
