I think that is the hardest part having to face our emotions, fear, self-centeredness, self-pity, my list could go on and on. I feel trapped in my life by all these emotions. I know until I put in the work for me I will always be trapped and I do not want that.
Just remember we are similiar her trying to be on similar paths. You can do this. It is hard but anything is possible and that is the beauty of life...
