Rayn- we ARE a lot alike- I checked out your postings. We're even the same age and left the xabfs at the same time. Um, welcome to the club?
I'm countering the "alone forever" thought with realizing that if I can actually be okay with that prospect, I literally have nothing to fear, at least not in that department. And life on my own is actually pretty rad, so far.
Nice to have met all of you- so far, this forum has been incredibly helpful and insightful. I'm choosing to see this as the universe slapping me in the face and telling me to wake up! and giving me the opportunity to get reacquainted with ME again. And that's never a bad thing.
